You must be a member of GHSF in order to fish. If you paid your $30 per student membership fee at the last tournament you only need to pay the $30 per boat entry fee on Sunday.

I was planning on fishing this tournament but my driver wasn't able to make it. Would you happen to know anyone who would be willing to drive their boat?

Sorry, I don't know of any off the top of my head.
I would check with local bass clubs sometimes they will take kids out.

Times and information for the November 13th Tournament
Parking will be an issue once again. There are several things we can do to improve the parking situation. There is a large parking lot on the East side of the bathrooms. If you don't have a trailer attached to your vehicle you need to park there. If you park in the main parking lot without a trailer you will be ticketed. If this continues to be a problem I am willing and able to deduct points from teams that don't follow the parking instructions. Please arrive early.
You can arrive by water if you like to. If you are able to and feel it's safe you can launch at Duckett Mill, War Hill, or any other park. When you check in please tell me that you arrived by water and we will do a extra livewell check.
Registration Opens - 5:00 AM
Mandatory Rules meeting on the water - 6:15 AM
Blast off - 6:45 AM or safe light
Weigh in will begin at 3:00 PM
