This Week's Fishing Report
This past week I had the honor of fishing the media event in the Bass Pro Shops Crappie Masters Tournament on Lake Monroe in Sanford Florida. On the media day, members of the press and event sponsors are teamed up with Crappie Master pro teams for a short four hour tournament. For this year's media tournament I had the privilege of fishing with the veteran husband and wife team, Barbra and Jim Reedy from Charleston Missouri. Sponsored by Vicious Line, B&M Rods, Bass Pro, and Road Runner, the Reedy's have fished the Crappie Masters for over 20 years, winning the Lake Monroe event in 2007, and the 2009 Angler Team of the Year.
We left the ramp in the fog at 7am, and although we didn't win the event, we did make the weigh in with a nice 1.25 pound crappie. The Reedy's tactic for the day was longline trolling Road Runners tipped with minnows, and we caught a wide assortment of crappie, largemouth bass strippers and catfish. The event winner was Greg Feninco, Promotions Manager for Bass Pro Shops Orlando with a 2.25 crappie.

In closing, I would like to encourage everyone to join me in fishing the Central Florida Shad and Crappie Derby. The derby is free for anglers and we have some great prizes, so visit www.cfshadderby.com to view the current leaders and locate the nearest sign-up location.
As always, if you need information or have any questions, please contact me.
Good luck and good fishing,
