Update from the Wilcox Area Chamber Jackpot Crappie Derby on Miller's Ferry Lake. As of 5/5 we have had 17 current year tagged fish caught. 4 of the anglers had not entered the contest so they did not win anything. We have paid one $250 fish and the remaining have all been $100 each. We did have a guy catch a double tagged fish from the 2009 event which was tagged for the truck in last year's event. We would have paid him $250 for this catch this year but he had not bought the $5 ticket nor contacted us at the time of the catch so he too was not eligible for money.

We are updating daily at our website at www.wilcoxareachamber.org The event goes through May 16th. River is up some now but we did have a tagged fish caught yesterday despite the conditions.
