crisop 65 Report post Posted July 15, 2011 pull up at least an hour prior to start. get in line, put all your gear in the boat and get everything ready to launch your boat when it's your turn. while your doing all this your boat will get inspected and you will get your sticker. Once your boat is launched park your truck in the right spot and then get in your boat and float around waitingthats what we always do Quote 2017 Dog Lake Open Champion Line Cutter Fishy AF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crisop 65 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 4 or 5 yrs of practice roger....we eventually got it right. Just sucks i'm on nights this yr with my new job and i cant go in it. maybe next yrAlso make sure you know how to load and unload your boat at the launch or you'll back everyone up pretty quick at the end of the day.

DJL66 5 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Make sure your drain plug is in. I launched and sat in the bay till I felt my feet getting wet. Sat there for 20 minutes bilging the boat out. Glad I had a late start. What I learned in my years of tourny fishing was to get in the water as early as possible and get all your gear set up. Plan where you want to go first, have lines ready and just sit back and relax before they call your boat. Tourny fishing is a real adrenalin rush, so enjoy the moment.
