Fellow Crappie Anglers,
I know that everyone likes to fun fish for Crappie but what if you could make money from it also? Is there ever going to be a day that we can really put AZ Crappie fishing on the map and start a tournament series? Maybe the first year have them every quarter, the next year every other month and then monthly? When we first started the AZCA I know this was a though and I am just wondering if we are a big enough now to take another look at making this a possibility? I will be able to help as much as I can until I head back to the desert in Feb.
Greg, I think that in order to make money at this sort of thing that you have to actually CATCH some crappie in the tournament. That rules me out :)
I used to do bass tourneys some, I just like to fish because it is fun, for me I have lived with competition all my life from 6yrs of age till the day I retired from fire, if the $$ crappie tourneys are an idea great but for me I don't want to change something I enjoy doing just because it in itself is a personal challenge and I relax doing it (except when Piscolli out fishes me :angry4:)turn it into "pressure to compete" if the club wants to do it I am fine with that but would not participate, the two events we have now are so low key and more of a social gathering (which I like).
I don't see it for the AZCA but if someone were to start a tourney series I may precipitate occasionally. But i really prefer to keep money out oc my 2 true passions, Crappie fishing and 49er football.
JOEEEEE MONTANAAAAAA
