Docking
Boaters that won't be launching can tie up at Lakevue Marina the day of the tournament. Call ahead if you want to tie up a few days ahead of time. We haven't discussed fees for transient docking but at this time of year it should be reasonable. Make sure you tell them you are fishing the tournament. Ph # 419-798-5221

The LEWT payout will be 80% to 25% of the field based on 40 teams.

Big Fish jackpot
