WON Pro/Am June 9-10 Konocti Harbor Rates
Goodness. $169 for Thursday night, $199 for Friday night and if you want to stay Saturday, you also have to buy tix to see the Charlie Daniels Band.
I asked if that was still true for those of us fishing the tournament ... answer, yes.
So ... why again are we launching from this place?
