Tournament Blast Off

PLEASE READ – When you launch your boat into the water, please clear the ramp so others may have ample space to launch as well. After you launch your vessel, please stage to the left of the ramp or dock your boat at the available docks. We will call boat numbers from the docks beside the launch ramp. We will inspect all live wells as you idle by the dock after your boat number is called. After going through the live well check, you may idle out of the no-wake zone and get on plane.

Boat Numbers and Flights

During registration, teams are assigned boat numbers. We blast off boats in order based on these numbers. Every 25 boats will begin a new flight. The first flight is due back in at 3:00 and every proceeding flight after that is due back in 10 minutes later. Boat numbers are visible on the homepage of this website.

Youth Tournament anglers will blast off shortly after the last adult team blasts off. All youth tournament anglers are required to return to the launch ramp at 2:00 pm.

Day 2 Boat Numbers

On day 2, boat numbers will be assigned by the order in which you finished after day 1. So as an example, if a team finished in 3rd place on Day 1, you’ll be boat #3 on Day 2.
