What does less polygraph fee mean?

If the director felt like a poly was needed for some reason,the fee to pay someone to do a poly would be deducted from the pot.I have never seen an incident in our opens where a poly was needed.

Does your club have a web-site ?

We are going to have one real soon,we have just affiliated our club with Honey Hole and will have a web site set up through them. If you would like to attend a club meeting shoot me an E-mail.

Only a week from Easter Sunday,hoping to see a bunch of TFF members out there!

Is there any off limit period prior to tournament?

You may prefish before the tourny up until sundown the day before the tournament which will be Saturday the 17th. Wish I could prefish but my schedule will not allow it. Hope to see you there!

turk what kind of startis it gonna be, west bay gets a little crowded. I know ya'll said register to get your team #, but even 20 boats in west bay will be crowded. Just wondering

Frogger,once you get registered you can launch where you want to. Wiegh your fish in at West Bay. You can be on the water early and can start casting,flippn or pitching at 6:00 am. Good luck.
