Not sure if they still do this run or not.

You might check midwestboatparty.

We run a small poker run every May on Clinton Lake. How small you say? Well, here are all the boats tied up that participated in last year's run!

Knot... post it on here when you decide on the date for the run @ Clinton I would join.

Actually we do stop and we do draw cards. It varies but last year we ran from the marina where most of us slip our boats down to under the Rt. 48 bridge. Then we ran back to Houseboat Cove. Final stop was down by the plant intake. Since there were only 3 stops we drew multiple cards at one of the stops to make up our 5 card hands. $20/hand, high and low split the pot. Any more than 3 stops on a lake as small as Clinton and the fast boats don't get a chance to spread their legs. I will post when we set a date. Very informal.

Count me in!

The Quad Cities poker run was a blast last year with a pretty big turnout.

Chances are you've seen me in a solid red 20 Outlaw or you will this summer in this...

Lots of nice boats around Henderson, KY (Ohio River). Bring that Lightning on over - not as far as KY Lake.
