I think you made the right decision, Brian and Ashley.

Head on down to the coast and grab a plate of BBQ at the Smoke and Fire BBQ contest at Hudson Park. 8 bucks for three meats and fixings..... All proceeds go to two great charities.

Thanks

is this a cancellation or another reschedule?

is it possible to have it the week after the club tourney if we reschedule?

You would!

Wasn't gonna be able to fish this one anyway.

Brian, I feel for you brotha. It is what it is.

You would! LMFAO !!!!

What is up with the weather juju on this tournament. How many have not been postponed at least once 1 out of 5. Don't get me wrong Im completely content with not fishing it this weekend now I don't have to cancel my annual hunting competition with my old roommate. He might be upset when the dust settles tho.

Is this advisary for tomorrow 10-01-2011?

JT,
You're skipping over the synopsis when you're reading the NWS forecast:

Small Craft Advisory

Synopsis...A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSED THROUGH THE FORECAST WATERS THIS EVENING. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AND QUICKLY REACH ADVISORY LEVELS. ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING HOURS BEFORE SETTLING DOWN TO CAUTIONARY LEVELS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL RAMP UP OVERNIGHT AS WELL REACHING 3 TO 5 FEET IN THE NEARSHORE WATERS AND 5 TO 7 FEET FURTHER OFFSHORE. EXPECT THESE ELEVATED SEAS TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSING OVER OUR COASTAL AND OFFSHORE WATERS WILL CAUSE A SLIGHT ENHANCEMENT IN THE WINDS AND SEAS ONCE AGAIN INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE A POSSIBILITY...HOWEVER...FOR NOW WILL GO WITH HIGH END CAUTIONARY CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. ON SUNDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE TO BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA AND REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.
