APRIL 13 BENEFIT $1,300 GUARANTEED (20 boat minimum)

It seems the KCs are in a panic and expected 15-20 boats to enter by now…
I tried to explain the guys rarely decide to fish Benefits until the last day or just enter at the launch in the dark....soooo they have ordered me at 11am to add this to the Rules…
"payout based upon a 20 (twenty) boat minimum"…
that is still very low for any above average payout.
This is often what happens when non-anglers start Benefits…
its still all good...
April 13th on Lake St. John...entry forms at Eddie's/Sportscenter/Bryan's...
(naturally the $500 cap will not be in effect for under 20 boats)
