Its a calcutta based payout. You never know how much will be in it until you see how many boats show up that morning. Last tournament we had 31 boats paying 50$ a boat for calcutta so do the math. It's winner take all I think.

You guys who are on the fence come on out and fish. Yea the weather sucks but that's all part of tournament fishing. However, if the weather is going to be too bad then Sunday might be a better day to have it. I just feel that if you are commited to fishing tournaments then unless conditions are dangerous then who cares about the weather!!!

I use to hope forbad weather on tournament weekendsprior to the 2007 FLW Championship where I wasn't sure if I was going to live through the day or not!We wanted bad weather that weekend becausewe were fishing at home and thoughtwe could out fish everyone under the circumstances, but it was much worse than weever dreamed. Eighty percent of the field ran west where it was beautiful andwe came back to Pensacola where it was a monsoon with tornados!

Inshore tournamentfishing in bad weather can be very good and it's often easier to do well because much of the competition lets the weather get in their head. You may have to change your approach since sight fishing in the rain is impossible, but go where you've been seeing some fish and start chunk and winding or jig one of the bridges...

It's killing me not to get to play!

Brad King · 03-26-2009, 11:43 AM

I'm all for the bad weather....It's the only way I get a chance to do well in a tourney. All the fair weather players stay at home and the Awesome sight fishing guys are jusy ass out!!!!LOL

I hope it blows 25 out of every direction and rains like hell!!!!!!!!

Considering that this tournament is based out of the Sound and the wind will be coming out of the South @ 20 or so. The ECRC staff finds the weather conditions to be indeed uncomfortable but not unsafe. The tournament will go on till conditions are viewed as unsafe.

If the tournament is rescheduled it will be posted by tomorrow, Friday @ 2:00PM CST.

Capt Rivers especially, you have an advantage since you have a big boat, you can still plow across the bay if you needed to, while us in our 16 ft flats boats can only hug the South Shore hoping to find a fish.

There will be over 25 boats that come ready to kick some ass. Local Pensacola guys should jump at the chance to fish in this tournament. We are the cheapest, funnest, most competitive tournament series in the panhandle. Five out of the top seven in the Grass Flats Classic were ECRC teams.

PaleRed · 03-26-2009, 12:47 PM

If conditions are found to be unsafe and has to becanceled, it will be moved to Sunday the 29th or next Saturday, April 4th. Will be decided by 2pm tomorrow.
