It's gusting 51.7 knots on the east side of Tallahassee this morning with a falling barometer and an unusual hair loss for men. Dogs are going to start playing with cats at any moment.

But the important fact is, the inshore prediction made the other day for the Steinhatchee area is no longer a prediction.
It was totally accurate.

Oh wise and powerful Oz, I bow to your superior web-surfing skills.

Stay safe buddy and maybe we can go catch some grouper inside Gray Mare next week.

If I was in Stienhatchie today trying desperately to secure my property from what looks more and more like a potentially devastating hurricane......well, I might have a poor attitude while waiting for you "tournament fishermen" to clear the dock/ramp.

After a storm a few years ago( can't remember which one), we caught 5 or 6 slot and 5-6 just short gags on dog island reef. Only time I've ever caught keeper grouper with the power pole down.

And of course traffic and gas availability......y'all made the right call. It's a no brainer

I think the ramp closure made the decision rather than NFGFC.

Are you gentleman going to make a decision soon as to where and when the next tournament is to be held ? I am sure folks would like to know enough in advance to make plans. Thanks.

SEATROUT CHALLENGE is fishing out of Econfina Saturday September 16 at safe light if anyone needs to get their tournament fix updated.
Two person team $60 dollar entry includes 5 trout with one over 20", Big Red and Big Trout pot.
Entry fees accepted at the ramp until 6:45 am. Weigh in at 3:30 pm.

As stated in a previous post, the tournament has been postponed until Saturday October 7th, so the tournament that should have taken place in September will be moved to this date and we will make adjustments to the final tournament.
