Fishing will be ‘Crappie’ in Millbrook
Millbrook City Council inks deal with Bass Pro Crappie Masters to bring
tournament here next year.

A year from now in Millbrook, the fishing will be really Crappie.
Mayor Al Kelley announced that the city will host Crappie Masters Alabama State Championship Tournament March 13 and 14, 2009. Other hosts include the Elmore County Commission, Millbrook Area Chamber of Commerce, Alabama Wildlife Foundation, and Millbrook area motels.
Sponsored by Bass Pro Shops, Tracker Marine, Toyota, Mercury Motors, MinnKota, and Hummingbird, Crappie Masters’ national tournament trail extends from Minnesota to Florida with a typical state championship tournament offering cash and prizes totaling more than $30,000 for 100 registered boats.
The Alabama State Championship Tournament – a two day, one entry fee event open to all anglers – will be held on the Alabama River. Fishable waters will be Gold Star Park located in Wetumpka, Alabama to Swift Creek located in Autaugaville.
“All of this came about a month ago, when a good friend of mine mentioned that this area, specifically Elmore County, is a prime location to host some major tournaments,” Dan Dannenmueller, of Millbrook, said. Dannenmueller works with the Chamber of Commerce and also owns KMS Solutions in Millbrook.
“We see tournaments going to Prattville in Autauga County, but the truth is that Elmore County actually has more water and more opportunities,” Dannenmueller said. He began his crusade by contacting tournament organizers, and leading the case for Millbrook.
“One problem we faced was we don’t have parking and large enough ramps,” Dannenmueller said. This problem was remedied after he spoke with tournament organizers, and learned that fishermen can choose their own location to offload their boats, but Millbrook can still play host to the tournament, which is projected to bring in close to $1 million in revenue.
Dannenmueller was invited to Florida to view a tournament in action and see firsthand what it takes to successfully pull off a tournament.
“I spent four days with them in Sanford, Florida and met with the county and city leaders there and fishermen. It was superb function. All we had to do was convince them that Millbrook is a prime location, and we were successful in doing that.”
Dannenmueller said that now Millbrook is a part of the system, this area will host similar events for as long as wanted.
“This has the possibility to impact this area in a menagerie of ways, not just related to fishing,” Dannenmueller said.
Mayor Kelley said he is excited about the new venture, and also believes it will bring rewards from other areas as well.
“Anytime you have new people coming into an area for the first time, it is important that we put our best foot forward, and show them what we have to offer,” Kelley said. “We plan to do just that.”
For anglers in Crappie Masters tournaments, the guarantee says it all! Known for guaranteed 100% paybacks, Crappie Masters anglers will compete for the title and 100% payback of all entry fees which will be set at $300 per boat. Plus, the Alabama Tournament will be a national qualifier for the 2009 National Championship Tournament to be held in Grenada, Mississippi.
The Alabama Tournament pre-registration, banquet and seminar is set for March 12, 2009 with the location to be announced. A media VIP fish-off will help kick-off the event on March 12, giving media personalities, entertainers and local dignitaries an opportunity to fish for prizes and enjoy time with tournament anglers.
The Crappie Masters Tournament Trail supports future generations of outdoor sports enthusiast by holding a Kids Rodeo at each national qualifier and state championship tournament. The Alabama Wildlife Federation, located at 3050 Lanark Road in Millbrook, will provide the venue for the Kids Rodeo on March 14, 2009.
