PETZL sent 6 headlamps for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout prize table this year. This is a great company that produces safety gear for work and play. The Sport line covers lighting, rock climbing equipment, and all the safety gear that goes along with it while the professional side focuses on safety gear for those that work overhead. www.petzl.com/US/en  Give them a like on Facebook to watch their climbers achieve some incredible feats and everyday workers with awesome jobs with a view. Thank you Steven.

Considering this as my first kayak tournament.
I still have a lot to sort out first.
I haven't fished there in decades.
How far do you typically have to paddle to have a shot?

The tournament as been won more than once from within sight of the launch and your tent. Most people fish the Powder river arm immediately in front of the park. The farthest you have to travel to is the first couple of river bends. All 7-8 species can be found very close.

Light action rod and reel. 4-6lb line. Ned Rigs will catch every species. I have other lures and plastics that I will share but it's super simple to fish. It's legal to use bait so worms would be good to have. A couple small plugs for trolling and you are set.

Locked down my campsite with a pre-fish day!  WooHoo!

Lancer Jigs will again be a sponsor for the event. Up for grabs is 2 $50 gift certificates and a couple sweet hats. Not sure if the glow jigs will make it to the table ;)

Terry and Tony have built a devoted following for their jigs and I'm happy to say I am one of them. These jigs are my go to lures in the ocean and have produced some very nice fish for many anglers over the years. They are now offering soft beads and steelhead jigs and Tony is constantly working on new ideas. Super happy to have them back this year. Find them online at https://lancerjigs.com/ Thank you Terry and Tony.
