  • TG Buck Pool “App”

    TG Buck Pool “App”

    Tracking the TG Buck Pool shouldn’t mean digging through old texts or emails or trying to remember the website address. Good news: you can add the TG Buck Pool site straight to your phone’s home screen, so it opens with a single tap — just like an app.

    Why Bother?
    No more searching. Once it’s on your home screen, TG Buck Pool is one tap away. No typing in a web address, no digging through your browser history. Check standings, report your harvest, or see if you’re one of this week’s prize winners the moment you open your phone. Perfect for a quick look before, during, or after a hunt. Looks and feels like an app. It’ll show up with its own icon right alongside your other apps, even though it’s just a website. No app store, no downloads. This isn’t an app you install, it’s a shortcut your phone creates for you. No storage space, no updates, no hassle.


    How to Add It
    We put together a quick step-by-step guide with pictures for iPhone and Android. Just follow the instructions on the document below. Once it’s added, checking the Buck Pool is as easy as checking the weather. Give it a try before the season kicks off in September!

  • Bay of Green Bay Walleye Tournament

    Bay of Green Bay Walleye Tournament

    Subject: Save the Date – 2026 Bay of Green Bay Walleye Tournament (8/15/26)

    Attention all Anglers,

    The 2026 Bay of Green Bay Walleye Fishing Tournament is just around the corner! Save the date of 8/15/26 and join other anglers across all Tweet Garot locations for a chance to take home cash prizes and the 2026 trophy, custom made by the Wrightstown fabrication facility!

    This friendly tournament will use the Fish Donkey App, so anglers can fish from any launch they choose. That means you can stay in calmer water if winds pick up on tournament day, making it easier for smaller boats to participate too.

    What you need to know:

    • You may fish the tournament but must have at least one Tweet Garot employee on your team (2-person teams).
    • Measuring boards will be provided for use on the day of the tournament.
    • Walleye bag counts will be a total of your top 6 biggest fish.
    • You must follow all local and state fishing and boating regulations.
    • There is no Team of the Year payout, so feel free to fish one tournament or all of them!
    • An additional payout will go to the team that lands the shortest walleye.
      • The smallest walleye must be part of your 6-fish bag limit.
    • New this year: a bonus payout for the team with the largest non-walleye fish species.
      • That means catfish, sheepshead, pike, musky, and more all have a chance at taking home a prize!

    Award ceremony: Join us at D2’s (530 Larsen Orch Pkwy, Hobart, WI 54155) starting at 4pm for food, beverages, and prizes!

    A flier is attached that you can download and hang up for team members who may not have a Tweet Garot email, so they can learn about the tournament and join the fun!

  • 2026 Deer Lake “Marquette County” Results

    2026 Deer Lake “Marquette County” Results

    The first ever Marquette TG Walleye Tournament is in the books and it did not disappoint. On May 30th, 7 boats and 17 anglers hit the water for a day that delivered stunning scenery, fierce competition, and what we are pretty confident amounted to hundreds of Walleyes caught. Not a bad way to kick off a tournament tradition.

    With a six fish stringer format, every inch mattered and the standings proved it. The top three teams finished within just 1.25 inches of each other, keeping the competition alive from the first cast to the last weigh in. A special shout-out goes to the two boats and four anglers who made the trip all the way up from Wisconsin. That kind of commitment to compete means the world to us, and we hope it was worth every mile.

    After a full day on the water, the crews gathered at Jasper Ridge Brewing Company in Ishpeming for pizza, apps, and well earned awards. Congratulations to Team Carter Peterson for taking home both the biggest stringer and the largest Walleye at 22 inches. And hats off to Jim Vitort on Team Justin Beck for landing an absolute gator of a Northern Pike at 37.25 inches. That fish had people talking all night.

  • Brady Weidman Bow Buck

    Brady Weidman Bow Buck

    Congrats to Brady Weidman with his buck taken with the bow in in the late season! Brady is a Service Technician out of the Wisconsin Rapids location. Check out his story:

    January 4th, 4:00 p.m. Waushara county.

    It was a crisp afternoon with some freezing  rain. When the quiet broke, the food plot started to come alive. One by one, does filtered out until there were nine of them feeding in front of me. Then he appeared! My hunting partner had crossed paths with this buck more times than we could count this year, but could never quite seal the deal. Now he was standing in my lane. I watched him closely, knowing patience would matter more than anything. When he took that final step and turned just enough to give me a perfect quartering away shot, everything slowed down. I drew, settled my pin, and released. The arrow hit perfect, driving through and stopping in the off side shoulder. The impact was solid and unmistakable. The buck went down right there, expiring within seconds, the heart and lungs completely dismantled. Clean, ethical, and exactly how every bowhunter hopes it ends. As I walked up on him, the season replayed in my mind. The frustration from September, when I hit my target buck but never recovered him, still lingered. That one had weighed on me all year. But standing over this deer, I felt a sense of closure. After a season filled with close calls, hard lessons, and unfinished business, this buck was the perfect ending to the 2025 archery season. A reminder of why patience matters, why persistence pays off, and why we keep coming back!
