Getting very close to the "last call" for registration. Two ways to make it happen. Register until noon on Friday, June 24, with a credit card at www.lakeforksa.com. Or, if preferred, register in person at Oak Ridge Marina between 3:00pm and 9:00pm on Friday or between 5:30am and 7:00am on both Saturday and Sunday.

It should be a great, but warmish weekend. Join us for a chance at some of the $24,000 that will be awarded on Sunday afternoon.

I would love to fish but Sam says no.. to me sorry guys.good luck I got bait now just give me a call.

Why would he say no? ...it's a catfish tournament for God's sake. I've seen pontoon boats out baiting holes all week.

???Why would I say "NO" for any reason other than one being a Lake Fork Guide?

On-Line registration shuts off at noon today. After that you need to register in person at Oak Ridge Marina from 3:00pm to 9:00pm tonight or 5:30am to 7:00am tomorrow or Sunday morning.

Hope to see you there.

Are today's results posted ?
