There is a payout. Usually the top 2 or 3 hands. The stops are are all local. Outside of Detweiller, Captain Ron's area, Riverfront, Paradice Beach, Outside Wharf Harbor, around the Ivy Club, and finally to Eastport. Register, and pay at the first stop.

If I were you, I'd see if the Paradice Casino has any vacancys. Just a short blast down the road from East Port. You can either get a transient slip at EP, or just tie to the seawall overnight.

Eat in the Oyster Bar part. You can get either menu in either part. The Oyster Bar is nicer IMO. The ramp at Eastport is fine. There is also a public ramp next to Jonah's but I would avoid that with the river so low. Truth be told I would always avoid the public ramp! I used it once and that was enough for me.

This one doesn't, but the one on Aug 18 does. Starts and ends in Henry. This one is fairly local. Stops near East Port, Paradice Beach, Riverfront, Captain Rons, Detweiller, and Ivy Club from what I was told. This isn't a run to let your boat stretch 'er legs, lol.

I am doubting that the EP "private" ramp will work with his trailer. My buddy's 35 fountain trailer high centers on the private ramp, so he has to use the public ramp, or preferrably the Detweiller ramp. Hell even my 288 trailer drags some while putting in on the private ramp.

I haven't seen a flier for this year yet, but I do know that it's August 18. I will try to scare up some more info.
