Thursday morning is the final day to pre-fish, and the Parade of Boats, banquet and pre-tournament sign-in meeting will take place Thursday evening.
Anglers will hit the water Friday morning around 6 a.m. to begin the tournament, and the anglers will be back in the water about the same time Saturday.
