I suppose this is still on? with all the rain we could have issues with debris on the river. Let us know promptly if it gets canceled.

It has been brought to the tournament committee's attention and will be discussed as the members log in. I don't think there will be much of a problem since we aren't getting the rain they expected us to get. Either way I'm still fishing!

Yikes, then I guess ya haven't seen the flood watch warnings and seen there is no less than 40% chance of rain Sat thru Sunday morning and their calling for 1 to 2 inches with higher amounts locally. The only thing I would change would be to move up the weigh in to 8am so people could make the run back in the daylight and avoid some of y'alls debris.

ONE final thought you wouldn't happen to remember that I attract thunderstorms, windstorms, hailstorms, tornadoes and quite a few of the biblical plaques that happened in Eygpt wouldja.
