dark of the moon, trying to get that early bite and 8 hours should be enough. Then the weigh in, some people will have to process fish, and all good things come to an end, sometime.

Like the beginning says: "rules subject to change with a meeting later this week"

Tournament every month seems a bit excessive......
Either way I'm sure I'll be there.

As you well know, the Swordfish will move through and the weather will kick up. May as well take advantage of the fishing. Last Saturday I counted about 20 boats out there, why not have a little side bet?

Besides, you have a choice, you do not have to fish it, if one a month is too much for you.

By Dec. the sails will be here and then there is a tournament every two weeks. That might be closer to excessive????
