Another great year is on tap for the Ducks Unlimited Lake Murray Poker Run. The dates are set for June 8-9 on beautiful Lake Murray. This years event starts again on Friday with huge raft-up party at Sandy Beach and the drag boat races will happen on saturday after the lunch stop. Lake Murray is quickly becoming a favorite stop on the poker run circuit and we look forward to having another great year!

New website and details will be available soon.

The site has been updated with a downloadable registration form and all the early registration information. We are getting close! T-shirts, coozies, bags,ect.are being made up and the last few details ironed out. The run will a little different this year as far as stops and the actual Capt. meeting Friday evening at the Capts. party. The changes are for the better and should make the run better. We are also paying out a few different things this year to add some more fun. See everyone in about 8 weeks!

[36outlaw]

How close is Spinners to the action?

[MIKES280]

Randy Spinners is on the north end of the lake opposite end of the start but not that big a deal and it is nice.

[MIKES280]

where we are staying is not that far from Spinners.

[rclaws35]

I thought Spinners would be close to Ligthouse, Where you guys staying?

[MIKES280]

we got a house

[AMBUSHER]

I thought Spinners would be close to Ligthouse?

Opposite ends of the lake. We are about 3miles south of Spinners by water on the same side of the lake.

[DILLIGAF]

Spinners is a nice place. Its 17 miles from there to Rusty Anbchor, not a bad ride all deep open water. Both are easy to find even at night. Like Mike and TJ said, there are pretty close to Spinners. You could hook up with them Fri, after one trip to Rusty you will have it down. We are going to have lake maps in the Capts. packets this year with GPS coordinates of all the stops and marinas. No worries! Come and enjoy.

[36outlaw]

[DILLIGAF]

Thanks Jeff,Looking forward to seeing yall.
