Looks like a chance for heavy winds. If that happens do you call a blow day or restrict us to the river? |

If we have heavy winds it would be very difficult to reschedule the tournament. I think if weather is bad this would be our only option to restrict teams to the river foe everyone's safety. I will make that call Sunday morning and am hoping for having the entire Bay open. I just wanted to let everyone know if they want to spend some time pre fishing the river.
Thanks
