Creekside Sports Crappie Tournament on Lake Palestine

it was a PITIFUL Turnout but a Great time for those that showed. The weather was PERFECT and the fish were active, more so for some than others where the big girls were concerned.Only 4 teams showed up and a team from Temple took heavy bag at 14.4# & big fish at 2.9#. They definitely had the bigguns dialed in! Gerald Trahan & I caught a bunch of fish but we just couldn't find the big girls! We did walk away with 2 door prizes though, Gerald took a sack of Crazy Angler & Thermocline plastics and I won a new Bonehead 5 1/2' rod! My new Dock Shooter!!


We did catch a mess of fish and nearly all fell for my newest jig, The Green Goblin, fashioned after Crazy Angler's Warmouth Slab Bandit, based on a tip I got from Pugman Friday evening. The fish just HAMMERED it! Here's the jig and 1 descent fish caught with it.

Anyone have the team names and other weights? A 2.9# is one of the biggest I can remember in any tournament the last several years. James Rains caught a 3.34# (or close to) at Fork a few yrs ago in a tournament.

Congrats on the new BoneHead. That's a darn good door prize.

Ken Brown and Paulson won it, I couldn't make because of prior commitment. I beleave their acual weight was 14.9 big fish was 2.4

14.9! What a huge stringer! Anyone know what the pattern was they fished?

Man....son and I were going to fish Palestine on Sat. A friend called me and told there would be a crappie tournament on Palestine so it might be crowed at the bridge, hence we went to CC. If I'd have known that there were only 4 teams, we would have gone to Palestine. Heck, we might have fished the tournament with you guys...

Nevertheless, we got one limit from CC so it wasn't all bad...

Congrats to all winners!

Sorry, that's right! My dyslexia musta kicked in! Still, excellent weight's!



Deep timber with the fish suspended at 15'. I didn't hear what bait they used.

Nice lil tourney...awesome door prizes! Not a big turn out but the weights are impressive!!!

Pepop...thats a nice lil dock shooter ya got there!

If you guys can get with us, we'll try to make a calendar to be able to better conduct the tournaments so they don't collide with other tournaments going on.

Clifford Brown and Aaron Paulsen did great with their stringer and big fish. Big fish was 2.4lbs and stringer was 14.9!

Small turn out, but was fun nonetheless!

congrats to the winners and other participants! I think that's a great idea to have a calendar.That will give me enough time to find a partner,lol! pm sent

I am glad you corrected big fish , I was upset that someone caught my pet 2.9 that
will weigh 3.1 next spring when I catch it .
