Crappie USA Inc., “America’s Premier National Crappie Fishing Tournament Organization” will hold the first of four $10,000.00 Super Events on the waters of Lake of Egypt at Marion, Illinois March 14th & 15th, 2014. Anglers will be fishing for a 7-fish limit of crappie each day, which could net them a piece of the $10,000.00 in cash and prizes along with the opportunity to advance to the Cabela’s Crappie USA Classic, the most prestigious event in crappie fishing today.  This year's classic will be held October 16th-18th on Lake Cumberland at Somerset, Kentucky.

Registration and Seminar: A pre-tournament seminar will be held on Thursday evening the 13th at the William County Pavilion, 1602 Sioux Drive in Marion. Sign up will begin at 5:00pm with the meeting and a National Sponsor Field Test Product Drawing starting at 7:00pm local time. This seminar is open to the public. For those not fishing the event, we encourage you to come out to this meeting and meet the top crappie anglers in the region. Crappie USA offers more than just an event for the top anglers in the region and nation. The Amateur Division offers a chance  for local and new up and coming anglers the opportunity to fish on a competitive level at half the cost of the Semi-Pro entry fee.
