why is the Feb tx not on the 2nd Sunday 2-11-24.... It is on your schedule for the 2-18-24 on Tillery???

If it's a NC owned ramp you have to get a permit or I've heard it's a fine per boat. There are no blanket permits anymore, just letting you know. Would only need for Badin, Tuck, and Tillery it looks like.

I moved it to see if everyone who usually complains about it being Super Bowl Sunday actually will make it out now.

Yes, we’ve always got permits in the past. They made it a little more difficult this year. But as of now I’m waiting on the first 3 tourneys permits to show up. I can only put in for them 90 days before and I can’t get the blanket permit for the fishoff so I figure we will have 3 permits on the same day for us to fish the draw lake. Thanks nc wildlife make a simple process a pain in the butt now.
