Tips for Docks and Spookers

Dock numbers on the map MAY change up to the day of the event as some cancel and Event Partners are added. So, on the day of the event, create a sign that has your dock number on it so it can be seen by boaters who take pics.
Boaters will vote for their favorite docks and you may win a STL award! So make sure they can see your dock number.
Have someone to help guide boats in and out.
Kids and anyone on your dock that are not strong swimmers must wear a life vest.
Decorate your dock so that boats can find you easier.
Don’t wear any costume inhibiting your mobility should you fall in the water.
Take pics of every boatload so you can share your favorites.
Make sure you have your water and snacks because you may not get a chance to go back to the house. Stay hydrated.
Using a net with a long pole makes it easier to give treats to boaters. Plus, it keeps the boats moving instead of mooring.
Always plan for more Spookers especially if you are on a main channel.

Docks will vote for their favorite spookers and you may win a STL award! So make sure they can see your info. So, if you want to be nominated for an award, make a sign that can be seen clearly by the docks. They will be voting on your boatload as a whole so your sign should be something like: “Bob Smith’s Creepy Crawlers” or something. It’s up to you! Just try to make it unique.
Start where you are. Visit as many or as few docks as you want to.
Try to visit our Event Partner Docks on the map and show them some love and appreciation.
Kids and anyone on your boat that are not strong swimmers must wear a life vest.
Don’t wear any costume inhibiting your mobility should you fall in the water.
Take pics of every dock so you can share your favorites.
Bring snacks and water and stay hydrated.
Be sure to have a CLOSEABLE trash container to keep trash from blowing into the lake.
Decorate your boat but make sure you do not obstruct your captain’s visibility.
IT’S NOT A RACE! So, take your time, enjoy the lake, enjoy your family, and enjoy Spook the Lake!
Be sure to give a big thanks to the docks for all their efforts and generosity!
