  SELF-SHUTTLE OPTION

For self-shuttle, you must fish the Mississippi River within one(1) hour drive of CW Outfitting and can start fishing when tournament opens at 7:15am.  You then have until 3:00 pm to submit your photos.  Select "Self-Shuttle" during online registration and be sure to go to the Friday night check in meeting.
  
  NOTE - If you choose the self-shuttle option, you can park a vehicle at CW Outfitting but will NOT be able to launch from the CW Outfitting launch site.  Our launch site will be very busy the morning of the tournament with anglers choosing the CWO shuttle option.  Please plan another launch site.
  

  SHUTTLE OPTION 

  Competitors will be shuttled in waves to space out participants up and down the river. This has worked well in the past with winners coming from all different waves and fishing from different stretches of river!
  Each wave will have the same amount of time to fish the river.

  8 mile stretch - CWO to Snuffies (Shuttle after fishing)
  7:15am, 7:45am, & 8:15am
  
  10 mile stretch - River Bluffs to CWO (Shuttle before fishing)
  7:30am, 8:00am, & 8:30am
  
  Photo DEADLINE per wave:
  This will vary by wave but be either 3:00pm, 3:30pm, 4:00pm, 4:30 pm, or 5:00 pm and each wave will have approximately the same amount of time to fish.
  
  Limit of 6-8 competitors per wave. 
  Select preferred wave during online registration.
