The first annual Big Daddy Lawler Memorial Crappie Tournament at Miller’s Ferry Marina drew only seven anglers on May 6, but those who launched at 6 a.m. made the most of a day that began with rain and ended in sunshine.

Organizers said the light turnout was likely due to a forecast filled with showers and thunderstorms. As one line from the interview put it, “Friday was a rainy day as was Saturday morning of the tournament. But as the morning progressed, the weather became beautiful.”

Todd and Cindy talk about the tournament in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
