Yes that is Ramp Boundaries, you can fish wherever you like but you have to launch within the designated launch boundaries.

Again this is tentative upon approval by the board, we talked at the end of last year about cutting out the November tournament for a couple of reasons. The first reason is by then many have lost interest in it due to football and hunting season and we would like to lend our support to The Fishing For The Brave Tournament.

The Red Fish Tournaments I would say 2 Red Fish

I'd rather not see the St. Joe tournament limited to slot fish. Some of the biggest catches of the year always come from St. Joe and Keaton. Just my .02.
