Unfortunately only 5 teams showed up for the tournament.

I have begun working on plans for next year.
Also looking for input, feedback.

Sometime in November Im planning on starting up a website. Hopefully this will help draw more people.

Although I'm primarily a bass fisherman.....you aren't all that far from me. Maybe, ??? I might be able to join you next year.

I've been fishing for a week here on the home front, I only caught six big ones and had to work my butt off to do that! Being as how both motors are down I am limited only to a trolling motor.
If I were up there I would join your tournament sounds like a blast!
Here are the pics of the end results of my home made one man tournament.

Very nice report!

Have y'all ever tried trolling for crappie? It can be very productive.

Use your trolling motor and troll between 0.8-1.2 mph using a 1/16 oz. jig with a 2" curly tail grub.
