Check-in

✅ Check in early — right in this app

Team captains can check in ahead of time: tap Check in your team on the Home or Teams screen, confirm your anglers, and agree to the release. Checking in early means a faster morning at the ramp.

On tournament morning, pull up to the check-in station at the New Town Marina and give your team number. We'll confirm your check-in, hand you your bag, and direct you to the ANS inspection.

Not checked in yet? No problem — you can check in at the station. The ANS inspection must be completed before you launch.

The boat docks to the west of the ramp are private and cannot be used for picking up or dropping off fishermen.

Weigh-in, Awards & Social

A pull-through weigh station will be set up. After getting off the water and securing your boat for transport, get in line for the drive-through weigh station.

As you enter, hand your bag to a volunteer and remain with your vehicle. Once your fish are weighed they'll be handed back, and you may proceed to the awards & social gathering at 4 Bears Casino & Lodge.

Weights are updated in this app as they're logged, and displayed on a monitor at the awards & social gathering.
