Finances and logistics would make this tough for me to do this year but this is awesome!! Thank you American Crappie Trail for working to bring crappie fishing to the next level! Where else can somebody new to crappie fishing fish 2 full days with a pro angler for $350! That's a heck of a deal. A had day guide trip costs that much and your gonna get 2 full days in a boat with a hammer on an awesome lake! I would be looking at $2100 entry plus travel expenses for all 3 and my cut of the 10 team events we plan on fishing is less than that but maybe next year. They thought it out well. Like the way they're doing it. Never been to Alabama River but plan to be there March of 2021!

Very Cool! so how do the Am's get picked? That's a long drive but sounds like a great opportunity to some lucky fishermen.

It's all done random draw. No telling who you would fish with and it will be somebody different every day. The combined weights is a good thing. If I'm fishing for fish for me and the guy next to me is fishing for fish for him he better bring a long rod and his own livescope!!

This way at the end of the day they walk away with the same score. Kinda like a team for a day. CoAngler side I bet has a waiting list to fish all 3. Pro side will be a little tougher to get IMO.

Sucker stole my rod and is sticking em!![emoji2]

Ended up with 3 over 2! Not bad for a couple hours. Spent 30/40 minutes on the bridge cause little man wanted to go there! Stuck several black crappie and went home. Jambalaya is almost done!

Killing me! Wish it wasnt 4 1/2hrs away.

I scouted up north end of Conroe out of Cagle Sunday. Found a few piles but couldnt get em to bite. Its ao shallow up there its hard for me to imagine seeing many up there since they are supposed to be deep. But then I see videos of people catching them 5' deep in Decmber? Whats the deal?

I probably won't catch a crappie in less than 20' of water from now till March. People catching them shallow in winter are usually in deep creeks. Not all creeks hold crappie in winter and just being 5' deep on a flat this time of year your wasting your time! I would be near a creek channel or deep water this time of year regardless.

So they are likely to stage shallow real early? In December I expect them to be deep, but some catch them shallow in Stubblefield when they "should" be deep. Do they crappie in the Stubblefield area act more like creek crappie than lake crappie since they are so far north of the lake?


Snowflake Killa knows this area but not sure if Slew does since its far from home turf...Stubblefield is the far north end of Conroe where the river feeds into Conroe

I don't know where you talking about but if the river is deep enough for shad to live in when it's gets cold cold some go that way and crappie follow them. The surface temp will be warmer than the water temps on warm days so the shad will come to the surface and the crappie will follow! Same goes for deep. Warmer water will be in the deepest parts of the lake and Shad will go there for warmer water and the crappie will follow. Usually near creek or river channels. These are the fish I'm usually targeting in winter.
