💲Two Man Team Tournament Update💲
Participants are continuing to pay their entry fees filling up spots. If you want to participate, let us know ASAP and get registered.
💥TWO MAN TEAM TOURNAMENT INFO💥
Who is ready for our most popular tournament of the year? Get ready, it's coming but not until Saturday September 19th. We will take a maximum of 40 teams. At a full 40 teams the payout will be $12,000. Last year we ran 13 hours with a $575 big fish per hour payout, plus Big Fish of the Night, second big fish of the night and a slot fish pot. This will be an 8-12 hour tournament depending on the number of participants starting at 8pm with possibly running slightly longer like last year. This will be a pre registration and PRE -PAY ONLY TOURNAMENT. Entry fee is $350 per team, so $175 per person of the team. If you would like to register for this tournament simply message us using the send message button on the page and let us know both of the teammates names who will be participating. Both teammates are guaranteed to sit side by side..You must have two people. Four poles per team. Payment deadline for this tournament is Monday, September 7th at 9pm for the $350 entry fee. After that the entry goes to $375 per team up until September 14th. Same day tournament payments will be $425. You will receive a receipt for your payment. If for any reason we cannot run the tournament you will receive a 100% refund. Payment can only be made at the lake in cash. We do not take any online payments venmo, PayPal etc. Pre-registration started a few weeks ago and we will add you into the book just by sending us a message saying that you're going to fish the tournament. If you're not paid by the September 7th deadline you will be removed from the pre-registration and you will lose your spot. Anyone who pre-registered for the Iron Man tournament and did not follow through with paying cannot pre register. You can still fish the tournament, but we will not hold a spot for you until you are paid in full. Setting up for spots is Changing. You will set up in the order that you pay. No exceptions. The first team that pays gets to choose first spot and will set up in order of paying. There will be an additional 20 spots marked off above the number of teams fishing, so there will be plenty of additional spots to move around and change spots . If you want to win some real money it's time to get your fishing gear ready. You have a few weeks until the tournament and one week to get your cheapest rate payment to us. Contact us using the blue or white send message button to pre register. We will send you a confirmation message back through private messenger that says we have you pre-registered and in the book. This tournament is filling up, so contact us asap to secure your spot and we will arrange a mutual time to meet at the fishing lake to accept your payment and get you a receipt. You cannot just show up at the lake to pay for the entry fee. You must arrange a time to meet with me so we can get you a receipt.
