Really? Postponed due to wind???

Good call guys. Didn't want to fish in those conditions anyway.

Could you send an email to participants to see if this Sunday would be a better date than Oct. 1?

Great call fellas.
Thanks for the post here and the phone calls to make sure everyone knows and doing your best to keep everybody safe.

Thanks again, for everything ya'll do.

See you in October.

Due to the amount of people that it takes to run this tournament & getting everyone's schedules to line up, I'd say that this was the best decision.

good call
thanks for the call

How many teams did ya'll end up with ?

Good call, Brian and crew. Small craft advisories take all the guess work, opinions, and judgement out of the equation. Trout fishing will be better in a month anyways

I hope it is blowing like HELL Saturday.

Go fishing yourself if you'd like, this was in the best interest of everyone involved.

You are absolutely right Matthew. The tournament should have been cancelled for Saturday. Otherwise you would have received the AZZ Whoopin' of a lifetime.
