Dock Posted

Walkthrough

How it works

Dock Posted is the number on the board. If they have not written one, it stays Call — that just means pick up the phone. These three walks are for a marina, a captain, and a boat that needs a hole when they name a storm.

For the marina

The pin

Boats check this board before they leave. If your pin is blank, they often fuel at the next hose. You write the price. We do not invent one. $299 a season.

  1. 01

    Pick your dock

    Tell us which marina you run. That pin on the board becomes yours.

  2. 02

    You write the price

    When the truck comes, or when you change the board. Not every morning.

  3. 03

    Boats see it first

    Someone leaving the ramp sees what you posted. If you have not written it, they see Call.

For the boat

The run

Before you leave, see what a tank will cost on the water you fish. Charter or trailer. Posted dollars only. Leave an email if you want the next post — $29 a year. E15 is not for boats.

  1. 01

    Pick the water

    Galveston Bay, the Keys, or the coast you fish. Charter or trailer.

  2. 02

    Enter the tank

    Gallons you will burn, or GPH and hours. Same math either way.

  3. 03

    See what they posted

    Posted dollars for that tank. If a dock has not written a number, it stays Call.

  4. 04

    Get the next post

    Leave an email if you want a note when a dock on that water posts. Not a text.

Before they name it

Named storm

When they name it, you need a hole. File the boat now — $99–$199 a season. We text two yards that fit and what space they still have. You call the yard. We don’t lift her.

  1. 01

    File the boat

    Length, beam, home dock. We keep one page ready before the cone has a name.

  2. 02

    Two yards that fit

    A primary and a backup that can take her. We do not invent a hole.

  3. 03

    When they name it, we text what’s left

    You get leftover indoor and lot seats, plus the yard phone.

  4. 04

    You call the yard. We don’t lift her.

    We are not the yard. We do not haul, store, or insure.
