Crappie USA will return to Weiss Lake in Leesburg on March 9 for an angler tournament. Anglers will be fishing for a 7-fish limit of crappie, which could net them a check along with the opportunity to advance to the Cabela’s Crappie USA Classic Oct. 23-26 on Kentucky Lake in Paris, Tenn.

A pre-tournament seminar will be held March 8 at the FEMA Building located on 411 Industrial Blvd. in Leesburg. Sign up will begin at 5 p.m., with the meeting and a National Sponsor Field Test Product Drawing starting at 7 p.m. The seminar is open to the public.

The tournament weigh-in will be March 9 at the Leesburg Landing beginning at 3 p.m.
