this is a rain, wind, or shine event right?

Yes, at this time it is. Will continue to watch the storm. We fished in a hurricane 2015 but had only 11 boats. This is a fund raiser so we need as many boats as we can get. I've checked other trails and did not see October 8th as a conflict so that could be an alternate date if needed.

Hopefully it doesn't get moved. Not sure if I can swing next weekend. Looking forward to fishing in some sporty conditions hopefully.

i'm hoping the weatherman misses it and its not bad at all, cloudy with a light breeze would make for a nice day

Rain/shine/wind I’ll be there. Doubt safety would be a factor. People letting rain and a breeze hurt their feelings, maybe. Lol

fish unless 30-40 mph winds

Looking like storm slowed down a bit. Last model runs have center of storm NC/SC State line about 2AM Sunday

IF, IF, IF the tournament has to be moved would the 8th or 15th be best? Chances are on the 8th the lake will be muddy and trashy. The 15th the lake should be settled down if no more weather comes in. The problem with the 15th is there is no other option if the 15th is bad. Yadkin fishes on the 22nd and Central Carolinas on the 29th. Plus our church schedule gets full and I will be involved in other church events. Comments needed on the choices of the 8th or 15th. We will consider all (intelligent) opinions, LOL. We will make a decision to postpone or not no later than Thursday. Thanks for understanding.

Take my opinion for what you paid for it, but barring lightning, or 30-40mph sustained winds like Capp suggested, I vote we fish. It’ll be miserable, but in an “embrace the suck” kind of way thats oddly fun when it’s over and looking back at it. I respect that you’re trying to draw a crowd for the fundraiser but SC has a big tourny on the 8th. Bobcats Trail starts 8th as well, and you’ll lose some teams to that as well for the guys fishing their points events. I understand you’re trying to do what’s best for all involved and attract a crowd, but in terms of safety, in light of events at Milroc, and I know I heard some(a) loud voice(s) last year refusing to fish above Leonards no matter what was being caught there, you can only make things so safe. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. As for the 15th, you’ve got guys wanted to prefish for the other tournies later in the month. No disrespect intended, personally with limited time, I’d have to make arrangements on a few fronts for the 8th work since I was banking on the 1st, and the 15th, I’d already devoted to pre fishing for other tournies.

I'm with capp and justin, also the 15th is the crappie usa championship that a few of us will be at aswell, your call Leudy, but everyone that has voiced there opinion on here has voted for it this weekend, we don't control the weather and if you start trying to plan it for "good" conditions well thats just impossible, your never gonna please everybody, its a competition, we all have to fish the same conditions on the same body of water, whether its muddy, windy, rainy or the fish are uncooperative, it was posted as a rain or shine event and unless extremely unsafe conditions arise it should remain as scheduled, and how many times has the weatherman got it right?

I’ll support you - but in a fundraiser environment you are cutting yourself short. For instance my son fishes every tournament with me virtually. He can’t endure those weather conditions. Likewise our elder competitors or those not willing to fish in hurricane conditions just won’t be able to make the outing. You will have a very small number for entries, which kind of ruins the point of a fundraiser tournament.

I agree with you. Me personally I’m not fishing with 20mph winds and rain

Cant argue Todd or Jim's point. Will point out that the forecast is improving for Saturday. Your tournament. Your call. Will respect whatever decision is made.
