crappie.com tourney douglass

what does sat.Feb.7 sound like , ya'll can give me some feed back,I got the scales taken care of.that gives the lake 20 days to straighten up.what does 30.00 per boat sound like, if you want to do big fish we can add 5 bucks. If speck,Dr.John,sinkum,charger,sowdaddy.and myself make it thats good right there, but I have a fren who read's all this said he and a few of his buddy would like to join in. I personally believe sevier and jeff county has the best cork and fly fisherman in the south. JR at weiss lake always said sevier county Quote( raped his lake) I don't think so, but we have harvested our share.:D:D

i am in

Feb 7 looks good to me...as long as the temp is above 30 for a high!!!!!!

If I am off at work Ill be there.

I will probably fish it maybe with Slipshuck.

Think me and Thrill will have to come up and show guys how middle tenn people catch fish...lmao....We couldnt catch a fish on yalls lake heck I know I wouldnt be able to find it without a gps.But I will be working so I am just joking with yall guys trying to get a nerve aroused and make you worry.So yall are on the safe side.

I dunno, Crappietime....I hear that I'm a fairly decent fisherman once I get my clothes on the right way :D:D

Wait a minute, Booger....you're the one that lives w/ him! :eek::eek::D

I will try to fish it.

I will be in Hickory NC that day, all day, with my accountant doing taxes :mad:. I hope all you catch a bunch of fish and have a good time.

Speck - we should do the one on Cherokee again as well. A little earlier in the year would be nice.

Mark

Is this tourney going to be out of the Dandridge Ramp, Booger knows who I am, if weather cooperates I will be there, what time?? What rules? Two men 30 fish per boat?? Or is everyone by there self, 15 fish per person???

Rod Limit??????

4 pole limit per person,we are weighing in 5 biggest and that may change to 7 we'll see.lake rules apply in limits an size.we'll start signing everyone up at 6;30 till 7;00am check live wells and start fishing at daylight, around 7;30.be at ramp by 3:00 weigh your fish get your cash if you finish 1st,Of course big fish is 5 bucks, can get alittle there.10 boats will pay $300 to team.If by chance we did get 15 boats we would pay 2nd $150.You can get home clean your limit befour supper.Hope everyone understands nothing we can do for weak fish, no way to way early, unless one of your wives wants to hang around boat ramp all day.

If 5 or 7 crappie is all you can have in the boat at the end and someone to check the boats when they come in fine I will fish it but not no more fish than that no 15 or 30 its to easy to pick 7 fish out of 30 if one dies......and if any one has more than 5 or 7 fish they dont get to way in thats the only way it can work....you all pick 5 or 7 you cant have both...

Just Make the "rules" before the tourney... then we all play by the same set of rules.

Sounds like a blast...but i fishing buddies are bass fisherman at heart...and well i know without asking there not going to be game for it...it's hard enough to get them to put down the baitcasters when it's 70 and in the prime spring time....and since they have the boat....that leaves me with a problem haha but i wish each of ya the best of luck...just take it easy on my buddies sinkum and speck

Harley if two people fish in a boat they can have 8 rods but if 1 person fishes not only does he have a 4 pole limit but he pays the whole $35 what do you think about 8 rod limit like the CUSA rules wether its 1 or 2 people?? Your putting it on, just a suggestion.

sounds fair too me, :)

what difference does it make if you have 15 or 30 in the boat everyone will have the same option if one dies you can pick another one from the live well. I for one if i drive a hundred 180 + miles round trip and i am able to get a limit to bring back home i am going to do so. Even crappie usa allows this in their tournaments

I agree with Speck Chaser, I have fished this lake all of my life and I cann't remember a winter that it's been this tough. I and my partner are not going out there and fish all day (If we can??)catch 30 keepers and throw 25 of them back. Grub is getting a little thin on the old table.

I ain't got a dog in this fight, but you have a valid point.

That is al right i do appreciate the offer. what ever Harley decides is fine with me his tournament.

Well i will have to agree, I need the slabs, my freezer is almost empty. So if its a 5 or 7 fish limit, I will have to pass.

hey guys catch your limit and pick biggest (lets go with 7) I would never expect fisherman to throw back fish, we are going to try and catch a limit, and meet some of you guys in the process.:)lets try to stock our freezer by end of march..I feed the firemen at one of the firestations in knoxville once a month, I better get going I'm behind this year.

Now, that's the spirit...watch me get skunked!!!! hehe

Just come fish!!! Heck, we want to see the "Big Dog" in action....
I'll gladly lose to you and everyone else. hehe

I actually want to set my tripod on the closest level spot to water, so you want have to trailor if you don't want too.If we don't have our 30 we'll go back out for late evening action,:cool:

Where are you wanting to launch from?

Dandridge

This is sounding like a lot of fun. I've never fished a tournament before. I also have a friend who would like to bring his boat and a buddy and join us. He has never fished a tournament either.
If someone would be so kind as to post some general rules for the tourney, it would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys, John

Dr. John , go out have fun come in at 3:00 weight your 7 biggest, if you don't have your limit yet go back out if you want too.we will pay one place with ten boats, after everyone signs up we will know more about it,we will answer any and all questions at boat ramp.someone will get lucky catch a couple decent kicker fish and go home with some extra loot.It could be you:)
