Skeeter Owner's Tournament • Lake Fork • June 12-15, 2014

Who's fishing this? Any words of wisdom about the tourney or general things to think about before the tournament kicks off? Not looking for fishing spots/advice or anything, just general info on the tournament itself as well as who on here may be out there as well.

Deep points, road beds, humps, pond damns, creek channels I would stay out anywhere from 15-30 feet.

looking more for tournament related things like… when to get on the ramp to launch, how many people usually turn out, stuff to bring maybe? Im good with the fishing part. This is just the first time I will have fished this tourney and don't know what to really expect

also wanting to keep an eye out for any forum members that'll be there..(I'm sure there will be a lot) so as to maybe say hello.

Good idea to put in the bass section as well, might get a better turn out

Sent PM

For some reason I'm not seeing the PM

I'll b there. All info is on the Skeeter web site. Fun event, should be 800+ boats.

What's the entry fee I can't find it on the site?

http://skeeterboats.com/events/

this is the website

$100 each
$50 for TFO Rod and/or Costa Glasses

be sure and bring a toy to help fill the boat for the kids Christmas and get you an entry into the drawing. Try and get there Friday to get registered, trying to register Saturday a.m. is difficult (not impossible - we had to last year). There were 900+ last year, so the lake is crowded, be patient. Weigh-in your unders...their paying out several places each hour. Bar-b-que saturday is good but it will be crowded, bring you a small cooler to carry Saturday evening to carry a few drinks. but all else, just have fun, Skeeter and Bass Champs put on a great weekend!

I will be sure to stay away from Fork then.

Do all participants have to own a skeeter or can an owner have a non-owner in his boat?

only skeeter boats allowed im sure some non-boaters don't even own a boat or own a different brand.

Don't have to own a skeeter to fish but you do have to be fishing with a skeeter owner in a skeeter. The year I almost won the dang thing a guy won it and didn't even own a boat. This will be out 7th year in a row to fish it. We look forward to it every year. Depending on which ramp you are using you may want to launch early. We always launched way early right at 4:45am I believe was the earliest you could get on the water. Bring a radio with you on the water so you can tune into 99.9 and listen to the hourly weigh in updates. Most of all have fun! There will be the baddest arse Skeeters out there flying up and down the boat lanes putting on a show and there will be some oldie but goodie Skeeter's out there which are very cool too! DONT FORGET TO LOOK FOR YELLOW DUCKS!

be sure and take a ride with one of the Skeeter demo drivers and find out what a Skeeter will really do!!

ddmm thanks for the tips! Can't wait this sounds like a great time

Decided to fish this tourney late. Any good hits on lodging would be appreciated..........if anyone is cancelling their reservation we are looking.........be my first time but ready and see what it is all about.

I will be going as well, there is a marina in little caney that doesn't get as much traffic as the public or ramp at lake fork marina, I usually use the one at mustang lodge and its right around the corner from the weigh in

Do we have to be there on Thursday and Friday I may not be able to leave until Friday @ noon . My first year fishing it.

You can register on Friday or Saturday morning.

Bass Champs called me today..while I had him on the phone I asked how many have registered..said about 170 boats

They had over 1800 entries last year.
