Upon arrival at the ramp please check in with the officers at the shelter.  Pay your entry fee ($70) and/or optional big bass pot ($10) to Jason Smith.  Make sure you are marked as paid.  After you have paid see Bob Speers to draw your launch number.  If you wish to participate in the optional $10 rollover big bass pot see Rick Ray.  Mike Schwomeyer or another officer will be checking live wells. Please have your livewells checked before you launch your boat.  If you are fishing by yourself please have someone launch your boat immediately after you have paid and received your launch number.
Pre- tournament meeting will be near the weigh in shelter.  Size limit, off limits, 1st place auction, what's considered a live fish, and other formalities will be addressed here.  If you are late for the tournament, it is your responsibility to find another member on the lake to have your live well checked before you begin fishing.  You must also indicate at this time your intent to enter either big bass pots.
We will be weighing fish from the water or you may trailer your boat. That's your choice. Officers must dock their boats or be the first to pull out. Officers must be in place to conduct the weigh in shortly after the tourney ends. The docks are in bad shape with padding that has come off thus exposing some nails that will damage your boat.  Please bring rope and bumpers for the docks if you dock your boat.
