Sunday morning will include a grab-and-go breakfast\, fishing until around lunchtime\, and then depart for home. \nWe will have volunteers present along with their boats. Our volunteer boat owners are paying their way and are not professionals – nor are they licensed guides. No tips are allowed\, but gas in the tank and your share of other expenses is expected. Please bring cash to assist with boat gas\, ice\, and bait. Each volunteer boat owner will be assigned a fishing party each day. While we keep fathers and sons together\, usually you will be fishing with people you don’t know. This is done purposefully so please don’t be surprised. Additionally\, we will try to pair volunteer boat owners with parties suitable to their preferred method of fishing\, but please remember to be flexible as this won’t always be possible. \nVolunteer boat owners will be introduced to their parties in our meetings. Please see your volunteer boat owner for assistance and/or special needs regarding fishing. \nMeals: \nDinner will be provided for both Friday and Saturday night meals.

Leftovers will be available for lunches but most parties will eat out based on their fishing location and schedule. \nFreebies/Door prizes:   \nAs usual\, everyone present at the event will receive an event t-shirt and an entry for the door prize drawing that will be held on Saturday night. If you’d like to be our t-shirt or door prize sponsor\, please contact Greg Young at the number provided below. \nAdditional prizes will be awarded for the biggest catfish\, largemouth bass\, hybrid striper\, and crappie… just for the fun of it! \nRules:  \n\nPerfect people are not allowed. Come as you are\, no pretending.\nNo drunkenness.

Some boats\, particularly those with kids\, may pursue catfish. Each fisherman should bring their own rod. It’s recommended to put fresh lines on reels if you haven’t done so in the last few months. \nThe best artificial lures for hybrids and white bass are jigging spoons and swim jigs. The best artificial lures for largemouth bass are spinnerbaits\, crankbaits\, and soft plastics. For catfish\, cut bait\, shrimp\, and stink baits can be used but will require terminal tackle such as barrel weights\, swivels\, and circle hooks.
