Who's In?

Stinson and Stinson Jr. will be there. Hobbs isn't going to make this one.

Myself, Rainman & Bigphishie are in!!

You know we are up for it!!!!!

Hey Guys, we still gonna try to squeeze this one in or will everyone be getting ready to hunker down ? probably to late to cancel reservations anyway at this point. Right now I am still planning on fishing unless it gets postponed.

As of now it is still on, the storm should not even hit the Keys until Sunday so I feel we should be able to get it in.

Still time to make a decision, but I'd err on cancelling now. Move to November as a safety net.

Jumptrout51 and Warrior are in.
Some of the best fish I ever caught came during a hurricane.

You ain't never fished in a storm like this. Might wanna rethink this.

Hope you catch fish if you are able to go then. Will and I are gonna sit this one out.

Just saw where the Bucs and the Dolphins are postponing an NFL game and NFGFC is still planning to fish.

Guys we are keeping an eye on this and we will let you know of any changes in plans, I would hope they would cancel the football game since it's in Miami, which by the way is 400 miles from Steinhatchee, we have no intention on fishing during a hurricane but I just don't see the weather being an issue here on Saturday. The track has the eye just north of Cuba and south of the Bahamas on Saturday
