A Load of Crappie Tournaments at the Lake

 The Lake of the Ozarks is a popular destination for fishermen, and this weekend is no exception. Two Crappie Tournaments are taking place at the lake this weekend on Saturday, October 8th, and Sunday, October 9th. Hosted by two different establishments, the events are open to all fishermen and promise a day filled with fun, excitement, and plenty of crappies. Cash prizes and awards will be given away, so grab your fishing rod and head to the lake. Summerset Boat Lifts has all the info you need to know for this weekend’s Crappie Tournaments!


What are Crappies?

Crappies are a type of fish found in many different bodies of water. They are typically about 9-14 inches long but can grow up to 18 inches in length. Crappies have a black lateral line that runs along their sides and a white underside. They are popular game fish because they are both tasty and challenging to catch.

 

Saturday Crappie Tournament

The first Crappie Tournament, hosted by Traffic Jam Pub & Grub, takes place this Saturday, October 8th at the Lake of the Ozarks. Anglers must register for the competition by 11:59pm on Friday, October 7th for a chance to compete. Entry is $55 per two-person team and includes two tournament t-shirts.

On Saturday, each two-person team can begin fishing at 7:30 am anywhere on the lake except for below the Bagnell Dam. Fishing is allowed from either a boat or the shore, and all Missouri Conservation rules apply to those participating.

Anglers must be in line for weigh-in at the Traffic Jam Pub & Grub no later than 2:30pm, and both teammates must be present. Each team of two can weigh a limit of 20 live crappies. Fish that are iced, mangled, dead, or determined to be previously caught will result in the team’s disqualification. Late submissions are subject to a 1lb penalty for every 5 minutes late.

Prizes will be awarded based on the largest Crappies caught. 80% of the total entry fees collected will be distributed to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.

Each team must clean its own catches, and cleaning stations are provided for your convenience. The fish will be fried up and served with sides for dinner. Fishermen always eat first, so remember to bring your filet knife!
