Ticfaw 200 2012
 

I am planning on going to this run in 2012. I am looking for info on where would be the best place to launch my boat and leave my truck and trailer safely parked. Also where does everyone stay at? Any info would be great. I did the search function and got alot of info but nothing real specific. Thanks

the public launch is very nice. its under the 22 bridge. can leave truck and trailer there or by the marina. all safe.
places to say carter plantation in springfield or any hotel in hammond. have not worked out any special rates at this time any were! if you get in early friday you can get your hand and start the run! lots did that last year and really liked it.

I will definitely vouge for anywhere near/around Blood River Marina or under Hwy 22 in Springfield. These locations are within a mile of each other and Blood River is where the run ends and the after party begins :) ....very rural and no one messes with your stuff. Carter Plantation is very nice....Hammond hotels would offer better rates. Many people leave their boats in the water at Blood River Marina over Friday & Saturday nights(extremely safe) and either drive back/forth from Hammond or New Orleans(45-1hr drive). Check with Joey at the Blood River marina and he probably has room.

Check vrbo.com, there are places available to rent on the Tickfaw and Diversion Canal.

i am one of the board members for the run. there are no "saved boat parking" but there is tons of room in the marina and next to the marina 2 miles of canals all bulk headed.
we have bands book for both friday and sat all ready and the stops are coming together also. will be another 2 day run if you would like to start on friday. new logos are being worked on. hope yall are ready " its on like a chicken bone"

Welcome back to the Tickfaw 200. Louisiana’s Premiere Power Boat Poker Run returns May 4 & 5, 2012. The Tickfaw 200 will again be a two day event. You will be able to pick up your entry badges at Blood River Landing beginning Thursday, May 3. You can collect proof of stops Friday and/or Saturday.

On Saturday be ready to leave the Marina at 10:30 am. At 11:00 am there will be a blessing of the Fleet as the boats pass under the HWY 22 Bridge.

There will be eight stops for the Poker Run. You will need five (5) stops to qualify for a hand. Five of the stops are accessible by land if you choose to travel by car instead of boat. You can purchase two (2) additional cards. All the money from the additional cards goes into the pot, making it a progressive pot. The pot gets bigger with each extra card that is purchased.

Dealers will begin dealing hands at 3 pm on Saturday. You must be in line by 7 pm to receive a hand.

Stops are:
1. The Prop Stop (Tickfaw River) 5. Friends Restaurant (Madisonville)

4. Sun Buns (I-55 Canal at South Pass) 8. The Doc (Slidell)


There are three local, land based fuel stops in close proximity. Ratcliffs and TNT both have ethanol free gas and The Riverstop Chevron is easy access but does not have ethanol free gas. All three are within a mile of each other on Hwy 22 and within four (4) miles of the Marina.

A reminder that on Saturday there will be a Chicken Drop at Riverside Grill in Madisonville in addition to the Gator Drop at the Fun House.

There will be food, drinks and lots of fun. Food will be prepared by Creative Cajun Cooking.

Be sure to send your entry in as soon as possible. We want to make sure that we have plenty of time to place orders for shirts and you won’t have to stand in line to enter. So, when you send in your entry, let us know what size and color shirt you want so we can order the correct number. The shirts will have the “Powerboat Pirate” Logo silkscreened on the back.

Come and join us for a weekend of fun, friends, partying and fantastic boating.

Casey,

Did you buy a new boat yet?????

not yet and its killing me.

We have added a band for thursday at the fun house. So the party will Start Thursday for who is in town.

Thursday: hand pickup, bar will be open and band that night

Friday: Hand pickup, stops are open to get your cards, bar is open and band during the day and night.

Saturday: stops are open, chicken drop at maddisonville, gator drop at the fun house, band and bar is open,

Not trying to steal the thread but I was wondering where would be the best place to go to see some boats run and have a good time from the dock?

Still a few years out from having a boat of my own so this will have to be enough to feed the obsession for now lol

watching them run with out a boat is kinda hard, but to see all the boats maddisonville will be the place to see them. there is a big sea wall were everyone docks. River side bar and Friends are both on the sea will. also the chicken drop will be heald there so you can get in to some of the action! also the partys thurday nigh, fridaynight and saturday nigh at the marina/funhouse are open to who ever would like to come. a band will be playing and the bar will be open. boat will also be docked in the marina stuck in every place we can fit one.

so check out maddisonville and then come have fun that the Funhouse!:party-smiley-004:

is it worth the drive from Ch-Town????

Apparently it is. Bad Influence Offshore will be ragin' with the cajuns.

let Charlie convince ya if you doubt it :party-smiley-004:(R.I.P. Charlie)
