We look forward seeing all our freinds and new freinds at this tournament.I've gotten the bar-b-q lined up and hoping to get more things to give away.Zach also has a daughter thats 8yrs old and she is going to join Lucky Steike this year.

Bump!!!

Do you have too be there before 3:00 or loaded on trailer drinking before 3:00????

Will be there for sure!

Just like any other tournament. Check in time is at 3:00p.m. A minute after would be considered late.However, if you check in at 3:00, then you have until 3:15 for you or your partner to be in line. Check out the rules at the top of page if confused about anything or if I could assist in any way, PM me. Thanks for your support.

Thats what I thought .just making sure I got DQed last weekend on belton for not being in line with fish before 3:00....wish they would have told us.....i think we might have won big bass.........GUESS I NEED A FASTER SKEETER....

If we have a large turn out we may consider flights and weigh in times for safety purposes. There will be a controlled launch (number draw at morning check in), and this will be determined again by boat entries. Hope this helps.
