As far as I know the boater side has been full for some time. I was about 176 when I registered back in Feb. or May or whenver it was. I just got my confirmation a week or so ago and that’s b/c they opened it up to find a guaranteed co-angler….
Your best bet is to call and ask for Chris Jones (tourney director). He should be able to tell you, or ask whoever answers the phone, sometimes they can at least tell you some numbers as far as how many are in etc..etc..
270-252-1000
It’s worth the call b/c they sometimes let people in up to the last day to fill the fields if need be.
Good luck.
