Dave SparkChaser and I fished the 2021 AZ Mule Deer Crappie Tournament again this year. As always, they put on an well run, family friendly event and are an amazingly cordial group of people. They camped at the large group site, and in my opinion it would make a perfect setting for any of our future events at Alamo. Dave had issues with the hydraulics on the main motor, and despite the best efforts from Captain Timbo who came down to help us Friday night....we were forced to just use the trolling motor both days. Pre-fished Friday with many miles out on the TM to end up with just 1 small crappie. For Saturday, we made the decision to stick within a mile from the ramp and just grind it out. Most boats headed up river to the north side of the lake where the flotilla was visible. This tournament is an individual one, not per boat. Dave and I both weighed in only 1 crappie each, as well as 1 Bass each as goon fish (several Bass were caught, with only weighing our largest each). Ended up winning 1st in Biggest Crappie with Dave’s at 2.17 as well 2nd in Goon Fish. With Tommy taking 1st in goon fish. The goon fish needed up paying out just as much as the biggest crappie. The fish we found were all pre staged with water temps starting the day at 56 and pushing 60 by mid day.
