You can start a Facebook group for the club and use Facebook Live to post the meetings as they happen.
You can also take questions through Facebook Live and answer them live during the meeting.


Ernest,
I will try my hardest to attend this on the 23rd. Been a long time since these gatherings were held at Marshalls.

Other topics might include:
how to locate fish during specific seasons - have a meeting on the next upcoming season as we get closer to it. For instance, now would be a good time to talk about post spawn.
how to fish specific cover

Getting back to the basics of crappie fishing through education and growing the sport is what I am thrilled to see with this group. Looking forward to being a part of it.

I'll throw out a name for the club...Texas Crappie Anglers. "TCA"

Thanks for coming up with this idea and putting this together Ernest!

Thanks Jeff!

And I completely agree with you on focusing on the coming season so we can "try" and be prepared.

Thanks Ernest for spear-heading this effort, again.

Yea - this one!

I know it is unreasonable to ask you guys to do it, but I wish there were a club in the Waco to Austin area.

I'm interested if the club is located somewhere near Lewisville. I'd like to learn new tricks from some of the older guys and meet some of the great crappie fishermen on this forum. Only real reason I'm not involved with CAT is because it sounded more geared towards tournament fishing. I don't really care to tournament fish for crappie; I'd rather save that for bass fishing. Crappie fishing for me is therapeutic from a stressful job. Also depends on the cost of any club fees too.

I like your reasoning. Yes, this group/club will be focused on sharing information, learning, teaching, comradery/fellowship oh and did I mention sharing information. It "will not" be a tournament based club. I'm sure a small annual membership fee may apply as some of the meeting rooms such as the library charge for space/time. Carrollton most likely will be the general location for the club to meet which isn't far from Lewisville. Hope to see ya there...

Looking forward to it...I will email you as well

This is exactly the kind of suggestions and response that I was hoping for. Looks like we will have a good turn out
on the 23 rd.

That name doesn't sound bad. Anymore suggestions?

Carrollton will be where the meetings will be held.

Just a suggestion, but you may want to rename this thread, New Crappie Fishing Club, or something like that. There might be guys passing it by that might be interested too. I usually always read what Ernest posts is really the reason why I stopped by here.

I would be thrilled to get together with crappie fishermen and listen to everyone help each other out!! Unfortunately, I live in Sherman and I�m a high school football coach with three kids...so I�m usually pretty strapped for time.

But I�m gonna try my hardest to make it anyways.

I�ll know for sure when the time gets closer...and if so I�ll RSVP.

(Btw, my screen named changed from Yetiguy to TexY3TI)

I'm new to the forum, how do you PM on as I would like to attend the meeting

Ernest, I would like to participate, but I live 2 hours away and will not be able to attend a lot of the meetings. if you guys figure out a way for some of us to "attend" online, I would definitely be interested. I would really like to hear the programs on the Panoptix and the suggested topics of seasonal patterns. Let us know. I am always looking for more education on crappie. Thanks.

Hi Ernest, I am in the same boat as Lake Life, 2 hours away, but would sure join and like to be able to attend online and in person when I can. Maybe Facebook live is the answer? I think this is a great idea, nothing wrong with tournment fishing just not my thing, but I truly love crappie fishing.
Thanks again Ernest.
