The Arizona Crappie Association (AZCA) Spring Crappie Fest (SCF) with crappie tournament, open meeting (open for club prospects), raffle, and fish fry potluck is Saturday, April 10, 2021.

Camping
Many club members will be camping at Windy Hill in the Coyote Loop.  Recreation.gov allows reserving of odd numbered sites only while the rest are first-come first-serve.  You are welcome to camp in Coyote loop with the club, but most individual single sites are currently reserved so you may have to reserve a double site or check another nearby camping loop for availability. But don't delay as most sites at Windy Hill will be taken by that Friday night.  For camping resevations, go to https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/249308

Crappie Tournament
The AZCA SCF crappie tournament is on Saturday April 10th the same day as the LTF bass and crappie tournaments.  You are welcome to join either or both crappie tournaments if you'd like. For details, go here: http://www.azcrappie.com/forum/index.php/topic,4592.0.html

Meeting
The AZCA meeting will be at Windy Hill campground, Coyote loop, site #265 around 4pm (may start as late as 4:45pm depending on how long it takes for crappie division winners announcement).  The meeting will occur immediately following the crappie tournament winners announcement, which is occuring at the Windy Hill Bobcat boat launch ramp after everyone has weighed in and the LTF and AZCA tournament directors are able to compile the results. We'll provide those people who attend the tournament results announcement 5 minutes to return back to camp to attend the meeting.

Raffle
Immediately following the meeting, we hold a raffle. In previous years we've given out some great prizes like Engel live bait cooler, zero gravity chairs, propane fire pit, high performance coolers, gift cards, club swag, etc. Actual prizes are still being picked out.  You can't win if you don't enter!!

Fish Fry / Potluck
After the raffle, we'll give time for those assisting in the fish fry to get the grease hot and start frying fish. All members should bring a dish or dessert to share.

For information and history about the AZCA, please see our Club Information forum post.

If you are a club member without a campsite or prospecting the club and interested in camping Saturday night, please let me know here or message me (OneBlade) on this site. The club has 2 extra campsites reserved for Saturday night I'm holding off on releasing until last possible moment.  Campsite cost is $33 (includes reservation fee) and guarantees a spot for Saturday night.  I went there 2 weekends ago and by Friday 6pm most single sites, reservable and first-come first-serve, were all taken when I got there.  I checked multiple loops at Windy Hill.

I appreciate having the frying stations setup to make the job as easy as it could be.  All the cooking went smoothly, I appreciate everyone's effort!
