    The fundraiser unfortunately has been canceled due to the occupancy restrictions and new mandates by the governor.

    The tournament is a 100% a go. A big thanks to Castaway Rods for their continued support during this pandemic.

    The following are some new protocols for the weigh-in procedure. These were made for the safety of all and to comply with the orders from elected officials. Also, the last thing we want to do is jeopardize the marina and their operations with our event.

    1. The weigh in will be relocated to by the fuel pumps which are behind the general store by the bait camp.

    2. Only one member from the team may approach the weigh table, no exceptions!

    3. Only tournament staff will be allowed behind the table and weigh in area.

    4. Tournament staff will be wearing buff head gear / masks.

    5. The fuel docks are for paying patrons, please do not tie up there and wait. You will be allowed to pull up to off load 1 member of the team who may approach the table. Once your team has weighed in please clear the area and tie up on the other side of the marina.

    6. A carbon copy receipt will be handed to you as your official weigh slip. Do not leave the table without it.

    7. Please keep a 6' distance from anglers while waiting in line to weigh in fish.

    8. The weigh in will be broadcast over Facebook Live. It is our intent to stream uninterrupted so anglers may be updated and not have to hover over the table. We will try & announce the top 5 weights each 10 minutes verbally on the stream.

    9. If you are selected for a polygraph you must wear a face covering while in the room.

    10. If you plan on eating or having a drink at the marina please abide by their rules, tables are spaced per guidelines from local officials.

    11. You may wait in the parking lot, on your boat, tied up to the bulkhead down from the pumps, in your trucks or wait at the tables in the marina (as long as you order food & drinks). Please do not congregate while on the marina grounds and practice social distancing when able.

    12. The top five teams and side pot winners will be announced at conclusion of weigh in. Pending the results of the polygraph, the official announcement will be in the parking lot area from under our pop up tent. This typically take places around 4:45 -5 PM. The top 5 teams, side pot winners at this point should be close by. We will attempt another Facebook Live stream for the awards. If you are not in the top 5 we would appreciate if you did not get too close to the awards area.

    13. The kids division is still up for grabs, so if you have a youth that loves to fish sign them up!

    Have fun, be safe and if anyone has any questions please call Coe at 713-594Fourtwo52

          Miss you too Robalo. No raffle/social distancing, etc. means I won't be there either. I'll be rebuilding my dock instead.
