I want it as friendly and fun for everyone with the competition for those who like that kind of thing.

Yeah it is a lot of crappie...LOL. But if you get into a ball of those out there and are fishing with a small jig nothing else has time to hit it....and there are thousands in both lakes. I have a buddy that is a TWRA Tech down at Laurel Hill. He told me TWRA had taken crappie out of both lakes to take the ear bones out to see how old those 7-8 inch crappie are. If they are the size they should be for their age the current limit on crappie there will stay same. If they find they are stunted they are going to change the minimum length to thin them out. TWRA did not stock the crappie and they have no clue how old all of those fish are that are in there. Being alone on that lake for around 3 or 4 hours and seeing just how many big single fish busted the surface....or many times just hearing them....it must be lots of big hybrids in there. I do plan on fishing some of the tournaments. This one would have been good but had already booked White River trip. I will probably only fish tournaments for fun and to meet the other kayakers. It would be too easy for me to get distracted with the UL to try and get big bass....LOL....or I guess if I left the UL at home and only brought bass gear I would make myself fish for them.
