Ok. Is it where they have the high water ramp? On Katie Woods road?

Yes.

How does the raffle work? Is it an after the tournament raffle?

I'm in for a Bob Sandlin fishing package.

2 people
1 night lodging with dinner, breakfast and lunch
1 day on the water with Dillon Lee
(arrive Saturday - 1 night stay with meals, followed by full day on the water - trip can also be done during the week)

Yes JP we will do the drawings after the tournament. I will be at registration selling tickets and they will be available for purchase all day long at the ramp. Even if your not able to fish the tournament come on out and buy some raffle tickets, weigh in is at 2pm so the drawing will begin shortly thereafter.

Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine has stepped up with a raffle donation.

Just got back from the Funeral. Nathan is doing good. I wish yall the best of luck with this whole tournament.

Matt, I can probably talk the wife into manning a ticket table if you want to fish that dayto free you up.

Man...I just got back from the funeral service...It was a beautiful tribute..My thoughts and prayers are with Nathyn...He has a tough road ahead of him for sure! He is obviously devastated from the loss of his wife! I am happy to be a part of the TFF and the benefit tournament of Nathyn Hayes and his family!

Just got back as well......Extremely difficult situation but God is good and is carrying the load for my buddy.... May God Bless each and every one of you who has reached out to this great cause.

I will also be at the ramp all day!

That sounds great Mark! I appreciate it.

Count me in on this event.

I have never been to Grapevine, but plan to show up that morning for a good cause. Do I need to worry about anything running around the lake?

no
