Darl Black Last month I was
Vic Attardo working the Crappie Masters
Terry Madewell tournament on the Alabama
Brad Wiegmann River. A media/fisherman
Ron Presley event followed. Therefore, I
Vernon Summerlin got to spend some time on
John Neporadny, Jr the water even though most
of it was with a camera or

moss on the trees there
Fisherman Jay Johnson with an create a mood, the river
Alabama River crappie. offers a wide variety of
photo by Tim Huffman fishing situations, and there is great southern
hospitality in the area. It makes the Alabama
River a great go-to destination. You’ll see a
few photo sections and articles from the trip in
this issue.
Summer is quickly approaching with the
far northern lakes being in spawn or post-
spawn. Fishermen in the southern and middle
states are seeing crappie move into summer
patterns. More stable weather patterns can
produce consistent crappie catching. I’m
looking forward to getting in on some June
fishing. I’ll let you know how that works out.
Writer Darl Black has a great article this
month about how to apply tournament tips and
tricks to your fishing to catch more fish. There’s
nothing fancy or complicated, just straight-
forward tips. The Q&A session covers the same
subject with the Crappie Masters staff getting
a shot at sharing good tips.
Another article discusses how to night
fish. When the temperatures begin to sore it’s
a good way to beat the heat. Plus, if you are
on the right lake and the right spot, catching
can be as good or better than any other time.
It’s a good way for buddies or a family to share
a boat, relax and catch crappie.
When a magazine is full of good, exciting
stuff it’s fun to produce. Hope you enjoy and
pick up a few fish-catching tips.

Good fishin’ & God Bless,
Tim Huffman, Sr. Writer/Editor
