You have basically the same tournament next month with weigh in at Carrabelle with the boundaries being Lanark to East Point and it's also a slot tournament ......everyone is welcome to fish where they want and we even gave you another hour to fish to make up for any additional drive time..... I don't understand what the big deal is guys.....other than the guys who are complaining have been prefishing that area hard and are upset over that. This is not a last minute change and we gave you guys a little over two weeks notice...... plenty of time to find fish in other places.

I have to agree with Jeff, everyone needs to fish the boundaries that were set to begin with. what this sounds like to me is there are a couple of folks that can't fish or do not like to fish Lanark / Carrabelle, you can't use the excuse of pre fishing. No one could have been pre fishing the last couple weeks with all the weather that just went through. There are plenty of places to launch over there. There are plenty of places to weigh in over there. I've said enough, if I am out of line for voicing my opinion let me know. By the way there is no need to pre fish three weeks out for a tournament so that is not an excuse.

I'm prefishing based off Lanark and now ypu change the rules ??? WTH ???? Delete this post and go with Lanark !!!!

According to this post someone has been prefishing there , No one is out of line for voicing their openion as long as you are respectful, openions are welcome.

Chris let me start off and say y'all have done a wonderful job this year now I haven't got to pre-fish Carrabelle area yet and to be quite honest I don't need to I have a few places that I like to fish if the fish aren't there then I get my butt whipped but we have a Tournament Trail destination every year and this is one of them we don't need to change that if we're going to do that let's make the rest of the tournaments out of Jerry's Bait and Tackle with the way in at 4:30 that way I can make arrangements to fish st.joe the rest of the year and I personally don't think it would be fair for the rest of the teams if I got to do that it would be lights out

c'mon Chris, prefishing 3 weeks out?? I'm sure they'll be in the same places.

Has anyone seen the lanark or Carrabelle ramps because of just snapper season? Well add scallop boat and trailer traffic at the market. There is no way we could have the weigh in there. Also, Gary said there are plenty of places to hold weigh in in Lanark. I called Bill who lives there and he could not think of a place. So if you know of somewhere for everyone to park their trucks and boats, please advise. This wasn't something we just made up. We called around to make other accommodations and worked on keeping it that way. We also had to make a quick decision so that everyone would have plenty of time to make any changes to their plans. The only one I really feel bad for is JT if he really has reservations over there. It's still only a 45 minute drive. Only other suggestion is if there is somewhere closer to Ochlockonee for weigh in. Either way its on the way home for almost, if not all of us. I'm ok with having the boundaries the same and still having the weigh in else where. In the end we were trying to avoid having a complicated weigh in with no where to park.

Yep, pre-fished yesterday....2 weeks out Gary and I will fish where ever....Scallop season opens from Econfina around the coast so I would think all ramps will be full. The reason given to change the boundries for this tourney to me just seems lame

We will take everyone's opinions into consideration

How bad do you feel?
I really do have reservations there for the July and the August tournament.

It isn't the ramps being the issue, its having the weigh in at the ramp. Like you guys said, every ramp is going to be busy. Its trying to accommodate everyone to be able to park etc, and conduct the weigh in. Oh and I forgot to give you one of these Chris.

ok JT i feel a little bad

its opInions. Those squiggly red lines under the word usually means you spelled it wrong.

I may have a weigh in location at Lanark.
I have a call in to someone who can accommodate our group.
Will let you know as soon as I get a reply.

Sorry....auto correct didn't catch that I guess

I just called the IGA in Carrabelle and got permission from the store manager to hold weigh in in their parking lot. I told them approx. one hr. time , and no trash on the ground. He said it would be fine. Hope this helps.
