Below are some excerts from the monthly news letter and some pictures from the weekend:

Magnolia Crappie Club held its annual tournament Saturday, January 8, 2011 at Chotard Lake (MS River Oxbow) north of Vicksburg, MS. The 2011 Chotard tournament offered challenging conditions. Low water levels positioned the fish completely different than last year and eliminated our ability to fish the Tennessee Lake part of the normally 3 lake
compound. Pre-fishing was great on Thursday, slow and windy on Friday, and only
the best of the 37 boats entered did well in the conditions and with the stubborn
bite on Saturday.

Overcoming a slow bite and very cold north winds to
take the event were Dr. “Short Stack” Tonya Robertson and her tall drink o’
water side-kick, Terry Stewart.

Most teams were able to catch and weigh 7 fish—that’s always good.
Some of us were too damn stubborn to put down the crank bait strategy
and pick up a minnow pole or a jig pole, and it showed on the scoreboard.

Congratulations to all that fished, we hope to see you soon.
