Lamar Bunting with his $5,000 crappie along with Shane Hodge, Steve Adams and Bradley Isaac Lamar Bunting didn’t just get to first base.

Well, the answer is “yes”
Going into this weekend’s big crappie tournament on Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville, the big question was “can anybody beat Hayden Jeffries?” Jeffries and his dad, Dan, have been on a tear lately, winning everything in sight.

And as you might expect, the planned circuit has a lot of activity planned for our region, including stops … Continue reading
They caught HOW MANY crappie?
The average crappie fisherman probably won’t catch 260 pounds of crappie all spring at Lake D’Arbonne – maybe not all year. None of them will win $10,000. But the father-son team of Hayden and Dan Jeffries of Brandon, Mississippi did both of those things – in two days. They won the first-ever catch-weigh-release tournament hosted … Continue reading
Breaking it down: It’s crappie tournament time again
From my perspective, gauging exactly what’s been going on with professional crappie fishing the past couple of seasons has been as difficult as getting a spooked slab to bite a dead shiner.
