Yet another new Sponsor - National Crappie League

National Crappie League

Our mission is to create a crappie tournament trail that supports
competitive crappie fishing for all anglers. From the everyday/
weekend angler to the seasoned pro, where all have a chance to
compete at the National Championship on their level.
Our format is designed to promote fair competition for the everyday angler as well as the
seasoned pro. Our Division I tournaments are limited to those that have not place in the top 5
in the past two years nor has not won $5,000 or more at any professional crappie trail and that
are not a fishing guide.
Our Open Division two day tournaments are open to all anglers regardless of their previous
placements and money earned.
We will award Seniors, Adult/Youth, Male/Females teams to the highest placing team at each
event. We will be establishing a tournament for only multi pole fishing such as pulling and/or
pushing (spider rigging).
Our National Championship will be in the spring of each year, beginning in 2024.
Our uniqueness continues with only allowing 5 live crappie to be weighed in. This will give
more teams a chance to compete along with preserving the fish and the fisheries where tournaments are held.
Guaranteed Paybacks. NCL guarantees 100% of the entry fees and pay down 1 in 4 teams at
each tournament. Big fish entries are included in our entry fee. Division I tournaments will
guarantee a minimum of $10,000.00 payback regardless of the number of boats. Open tournament will be guaranteed a minimum of $20,000 payback regardless of the number of boats.

oops, didn't use the "MS Word" cut and paste option. my bad

Glad to have them. Now if somebody can figure out how to have tournaments & draw boats like a regular weekly bass tournament on about any lake like bass tournaments do with reasonable entry fees. Regular day time tournaments until it got hot then night time tournaments in summer with a classic until time to switch back to daytime in fall would sure be nice. I’d fish every one I could. Lots of bass tournaments around with 30 to 40 dollar entry’s including big fish & draw a lot of boats. Don’t see why crappie tournaments can’t be ran close to the same way with all leaving from same ramp.

Welcome aboard

Welcome guys. :highfive

Give them a little time. If they put in the hard work needed for that it'll come along. Hoping for the best for them.
