Wanna Be Fishin’

OK, here it is!
First annual Lake, Sam Rayburn poker run with a twist.
August 24 will meet at Castle Boykin boat ramp at 7 AM for registration and instructions. Entry fee will be $100 per boat.
We will have one hour travel between each destination during that time you’re welcome to fish because the fish are gonna be worth a lot towards your poker hand.
we will leave the boat ramp at 7:30 AM head toward Caney Creek once you arrive at Caney Creek one hour trip we will draw cards and you get to choose one of your cards to make your poker hand. From there, we will travel to the Harvey Creek boat ramp, which by the way is abandoned, but we can meet by boat where we will draw the secondhand of poker cards.  from there will take another hour to make a trip to Jackson Hill, Marina, where we were want to meet again as a group and draw for the third poker card .
From there, we will head to Shirley Creek and repeat the process of drawing two cards choosing one to be part of your poker hand .
leaving Shirley Creek. We will head back to the final starting point Castle Boykin where we started off,.
iIf you catch a fish such as a white  perks, bass, or catfish will be considered a wildcard, however only one wildcard per boat If you have a legal fish, you can throw out your lowest card substitute it with your wild card that will help your hand the team or person with the best poker hand at the End of the event the best hand will win half of the pot so it’s gonna be a 50-50 pot with 50% going to the winner and 50% going to my foundation children’s miracle network.
