It's January, and that means crappie season.

War Eagle’s new crappie boat for 2014 is the Predator 961. It’s a bigger version of the Predator 861, and it’s already popular with tournament crappie fishermen. The Predator 961 is being ordered by crappie guides who need more room for storage and for hauling people. Our pro staff includes several tournament fishermen, so we know how to outfit our boats. 961n accessories include spider rigs, pole holders and more. So, it’s January and time to fish. Here’s a look at Crappie USA’s 2014 tournament schedule:
