I put this on this venue so all could read it. I think crappie fishing has gained a lot of respect in Arizona in recent weeks! Johnny Johnson had his first crappie show a few weeks ago and told me he had more good feed back than in recent years and plans to do more in the future. The show will re-run sometime around or after the holidays. The Crappie Habitat Seminar at Bass Pro Shop last Wednesday went very well, both in attendance and pod cast hits, and their planning a possible spring crappie seminar. I'm told you can watch a repeat of the seminar on Azanglers facebook site. Then Tracy Purtee announced a crappie tournament (permit pending) for Roosevelt Lake on Saturday, February 23rd. If it draws enough interest he may form a three tournament mini crappie circuit. It's good to see crappie starting to get the respect it deserves in Arizona as it's big east of the Mississippi but mostly unknown out here. Feel free to comment. .......Srt
