I want to thank everyone who has pre-registered and look forward to a good showing this weekend. I look forward to meeting all of you.
When you arrive at Evert’s, there are just a couple things to take care of before putting the boat in the water. Note: Evert’s Resort will charge you a $7 access/parking fee. They have a full service bait shop with minnows, tackle, snacks and pop. Evert’s is a big supporter of this site and appreciates your business!
First, if you are not pre-registered, see me to get registered and pay your entry fee. At this stage in the game, please bring cash to pay your entry and arrive EARLY! Once you have turned in your application, you will be assigned a boat number. Next, you will need to have your boat inspected. Please have your deck hatches and livewell doors open for a quick inspection. Once inspected, you will receive your “Boat Board” The boat board will have your boat number on it. Once you have your boat board, you may put the boat in the water.
If you arrive by boat, see me for a quick boat inspection and pick up your boat board. There is a Public Access at the highway 63 bridge, Bay Point Park and Coleville Park.
After you put in, please stage your boats downstream from the big dock. (The big dock has an arch bridge to shore) As the 7am take off time approaches, line up in boat number order downstream from the big dock. It’s helpful to keep your boat board number visible to other teams as you are lining up for take off.
Weigh in starts at 3pm. You must be off plan and in plain view of Evert’s resort at 3pm SHARP. You may weigh in early. I expect to have the tanks and scales ready to go at noon. Please be patient. When you get to the dock, you will receive a basket. Place your 5 fish max limit in the box. Please make sure to bring your boat board to the scales along with your basket.
Once you have had your fish weighed, you will be asked to sign a Weigh Slip. Make sure the correct weight is noted on this slip. Once you sign this slip, your weight becomes official. MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT! You will receive a copy of this slip.
Hope this helps to make everything go as smooth as possible on Saturday & Sunday. If there are any question, please post or feel free to call me at 651.343.9318.
