Been waiting since Nov.

Wiley and Bo Spring are in. Just secured keys to a buddies condo right at the ramp. I will bring flour and cornmeal as instructed by tournament director Cook. See everyone tomorrow!!

Don't know if I can make it or not right now. If I can where is the sign up and what time?

reelcatch - see this thread if you didn't stumble upon it already - the referenced fish cleaning stations are at the back end of the Keaton Beach Marina by the pier along the canal (not where their boat lift is) Hope to see you there!

Also, for anyone who's never been there before and isn't pre-fishing today, if you're putting your boat in at the municipal ramp before light and riding up to the sign-in on the water, be aware of an unmarked hazard in the water right near the dock where sign-in will be. It's an old dock post or tree trunk or something, near the dead center of the canal. I took pictures when we were out there last weekend and forgot to post them, so here it is. Coming from the public boat ramp ($5.00 honor box fee) you will see the view in the first pic - hazard is in the center of the picture. The dock with the carolina skiff there is the Marina. The fish cleaning station is the little wooden structure there in front of the RV on the top right of the picture.



Same location from the opposite direction - from the marina you'll be coming around the bend on the left side of the picture:

Wish I could have made it but I went out of the Auccilla instead. Only caught three reds though, had to let the little one go. The other two were 26 1/2 and 24" so it was a good day.
