Crappie Tournament????

I wanted to know how many of you would be interested in a smaller scale tournament here in central Arkansas? It would be one with a competetive spirit and one that would provide an expereince to fish different lakes and learn new techniques from other members.

Maybe a $10.00 entry fee per boat with 100% payback to the top three places with the following breakdown:

1st Place: 50% payback
2nd place: 30%
3rd Place: 20%

Some very simple rules to follow:

1.) All entries paid the morning of the tournament.
2.) Two people maximum per boat.
3.) Follow all state and federal rules.
4.) Two poles per person maximum.
5.) Live or artificial bait can be used.

Of course any of this could be changed to any format, this is just a starting point.

Let me know what you think. Oh and by the way, CEB being the professional would not be allowed to participate!!!:D Just kidding Chris!!!:p

Nobody interested?

How about I just hand you $10 and we call it even? I can't believe more folks aren't interested in this...maybe it's the 2 poles rule:confused: I wish I could join you, but the honey-do list keeps getting longer and longer and longer...:(

Im interested but maybe we can change the pole rule.

Maybe you can join us in the near future?;)

But seriously, all rules can be changed. We can make the format to fit everyone's style.

I just wanted to get some of us together to fish the same lake on the same day. There's a wealth of knowledgeable people on here and maybe if all of us attack a lake on the same day, we could learn some new techniques or so.

Just to make the trip fun or more interesting, I suggested the smaller scale tournament. But let me know, I may even be able to get a local bait shop to help support it!

Sounds good to me. I don't have a problem with the 2 pole rule. I only have 2 hands. Which lake ? How about DeGray ?

I guess I am like jmorgan98 from Texarkana. I am from Murfreesboro, you say central AR.
Degray I might be interested in.

I think we should have a Tournament/Cook Out on a certain Sat every month on different waters across the state. That would be too cool if we could all pull that off and would be a great forum to meet each other. CP

I like CP's idea

I second that!

sounds fun, i would be interested!!

Sounds like fun to me!!!!!

Sounds awesome... Personally, I currently own a small stump-jumper with a trolling motor so the big lakes would not be possible. Maybe we could have a non-boater option with the non-boater paying all "tourney" fees for the boater to compensate for gas, etc. Then the boater would also take home the winnings for the boat if applicable. As a nonboater, I would be happy enough to go learn some big lake tactics and FISH!! Thoughts?

I would like to try keeping this on lakes where we could accomodate all?

Keeping it simple means fun for all.

aj

It sounds great to keep moving it around it would be like a crappie camp every month it would keep the great crappie fisherman like darryl on a even field!lol! but if I would go you could put it in ink that i would be last but it would be fun!!!

When and where you gona make this happen? I got a freind interested as long as we use my boat.

When and where? I got a freind said he is interested if we use my boat.

I don't know yet. Just wanted to get some ideas and to see what people thought?

I have several others that said they would be interested as well.

Any ideas on what lake should be first to hold the tournament? And taking into consideration it's summer, I would like to start off on a lake that doesn't carry too many "rocket launchers" and jet ski's!!!!!

Maybe Conway, LMR, DesArc, Chain Lakes (Biscoe), etc.?

One vote for Conway...

Maybe we can get someone to do a poll for us with the following five lakes?

Lake Conway
Little Maumelle River
Lake DesArc
Plum Bayou
Clear Lake
