Crappie Fishing Contests

Because crappie is a plentiful species of fish in several areas of the country and great fishing can be found almost year round, there are crappie fishing contests somewhere almost every weekend of the year. In cooler months of the year, you’ll find that most tournaments are concentrated further south where the waters don’t freeze and stay slightly warmer through the winter, while spring and summer hold promises of contests pretty much everywhere.

Often, some of the earliest events of the year can be found in Florida, where weather is warm year-round in the tropical southern part of the state. Here, you may find contests referred to as “super events” as early in the year as February. Early March may find contests beginning in other areas in the south as well, including several lakes in Alabama and Georgia. As spring moves forward, expect to see tournaments creeping farther north, to Tennessee and Kentucky, where there are some unbelievable lakes for spring crappie fishing. Later spring and early summer weather will work the lakes in areas like Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. Contests in these states can stretch into early fall before working back down to the southern coastal states in late November and December.

Events range from local to regional, culminating in week-long national tournaments at some of the best lakes in the country. Rules are somewhat typical, though exact start times may vary and some regulations differ slightly, especially when achieving the national level. For example, the Cabela’s Crappie USA Classic in 2007 will be held in Kentucky Barkley South Lake in Tennessee in early October. The tournament calls for the lake to be off limits to fishermen for the previous two weeks in order to guarantee that the lake isn’t stripped of crappie before the tournament. Rules state that tournament fishing is allowed between the hours of 6:30am and 3:00pm on Friday and Saturday, with anyone who is not in line for weigh-in at 4:00pm each day to be disqualified.

It is important to remember that all contests have a set of guidelines similar to this, and any violation is grounds for elimination. Many crappie fishing tournaments have size limitations that must be met in order to keep the catch, and some have regulations on boat sizes, motor sizes and types, and required distances between fishing boats for safety purposes.

Lobster Fishing $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Lobster fishing is the commercial or recreational harvesting of marine lobsters, spiny lobsters or crayfish. Lobster fishing is part of the larger fishing industry. It uses tools such as boats, navigation, and other fishing technology. Fishing technology specific to the lobster industry generally includes traps, either rectangularshaped or halfcylinders, once made from oak but are now primarily made from wire mesh covered with a thick layer of plastic to reduce oxidation of the metal. Lobster traps, or pot warp, are connected to each other and to a buoy with rope. Sometimes there is a floater called a toggle tied between the trap and the buoy to keep the rope tight so as to reduce the possibility of the rope wrapping around rocks on the bottom and becoming stuck.

Shetland Bus Boats $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Shetland bus was the name given to a clandestine special operations group that made a permanent link between Shetland, Scotland, and Germanoccupied Norway. From mid1941 until the end of the war it operated a number of vessels, mostly Norwegian fishing boats. Germany launched their invasion of Norway on 9 April 1940, and despite the efforts of the Norwegians and the British, the Germans controlled most of the country by the beginning of May. Only a few weeks after the occupation began, the first boats of an armada of fishing vessels and other boats began to arrive in Shetland. Many of these boats made several journeys across the North Sea carrying refugees. The boats were of many types and shapes, but most of those later used as the Shetland Bus, were from 50 to 70foot (21 m), with two masts and equipped with a 30 to 70 hp (52 kW) singlecylinder semidiesel engine, which made the characteristic tonktonk sound. They had a maximum speed of 9 knots (17 km/h). Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

BigGame Fishing $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Biggame fishing, often referred to as offshore sportfishing, offshore gamefishing, or bluewater fishing is a form of recreational fishing, targeting large fish renowned for their sporting qualities, such as tuna and marlin. Biggame fishing started as a sport after the invention of the motor boat. Charles Frederick Holder, a marine biologist and early conservationist, is credited with founding the sport in 1898. He went on to publish many articles and books on the subject, noted for their combination of accurate scientific detail with exciting narratives. Purpose built game fishing boats appeared early in the 20th century. An example is the Crete, in use at Catalina Island, California, in 1915, and shipped to Hawaii the following year. According to a newspaper report at that time, the Crete had .. . a deep cockpit, a chair fitted for landing big fish and leather pockets for placing the pole.

Moray Firth Fishing Disaster $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Moray Firth fishing disaster of August 1848 was one of the worst fishing disasters in maritime history on the east coast of Scotland, and was caused by a severe storm that struck the Moray Firth. The event led to widespread improvements to harbours and significant changes to the design of fishing boats over the remainder of the 19th century. Scottish fishing boats of the late 18th and early 19th centuries were generally small sail boats with open hulls that mainly fished close to shore. The shallow design of the boats allowed them to be launched by their crew from beaches or small harbours, but their open hull provided little shelter for the crew and made them susceptible to swamping and capsize in rough seas.
