It was a different kind of Derby Day on May 5th when three-year-old Waylon Cox of South Landing reeled in this 13.25 inch, almost two pound crappie at the Harbor Creek boat ramp using a live minnow on a Spider Man rod/reel. He’s currently in 1st Place Crappie in our yearly Derby which runs through November 15th. At our March 31st “Fish for Fun lesson at the CTCC dock, we were able to have three other children posted on the TUFF Scoreboard in 2nd Place Crappie and 1st and 2nd Place Catfish. Go to www.carolinatuff.com to learn how to join the fun! Or call Libby Bibb in Hidden Lake at the Lake Hotline 919-499-1300.
Any Carolina Trace owner or renter, their family members or guests can enter to win a handsome engraved plaque (Adults) or beautiful Gold or Silver Fishing Medallions (Youth 16 & Under) in Bass, Crappie, Bream or Catfish Categories. You don't have to be a member of TUFF or the Club to participate. To register your catch, measure its length/girth, take a pic, and release your fish where you caught it. If you don't have a cloth tape measure, cut a piece of your fishing line to measure the length and cut another piece of line to measure the girth (the fattest part around the middle). In the Youth Division, we just need the length in the Crappie, Bream or Catfish Categories. For bass entries, also measuring the girth really helps us gather data about the fishery. To register online, go to www.carolinatuff.com, click on Catches and click on New Catch Form (non-members). Call Libby at 919-499-1300 to get posted on the TUFF Scoreboard. Besides the coveted TUFF awards, you win bragging rights as a Lake Trace fishing expert!
