Hey Bryan, you need to show the eastern gulf forecast for the grounds and the elbow. The middle gulf forecast is way west of us.

You're right Scott, the forecast that I identified as the MG and Elbow is further west but it does provide the user an idea of what the general forecasted marine weather pattern is in the vicinity of the MG & Elbow. I use that section in order to get an synopsis of the bigger weather picture.

The first forecast covers a decent portion of the southern MGs.

Good luck lets see some fiiiiiiaaash!

For those who can't make the Saturday weigh-in party and fire drill, check it out via the SPEARFISHING PLANET live webcast. We should have sound wired into the broadcast directly from the stage.
Catch the antics of all your favorite SFP personalities.

Saturday is the EPIC party. Drinking and carousing go on long after the last fish is weighed. The hotel sells out on Saturday night. It is a great location to cut loose.

BTW- Who has the skull beer funnel?

Will the 'funnel of death' be at the Open?

Good luck out there tomorrow everyone and please be safe! Unfortunately I could not pull off diving in the tourney this year, but I will be at the weigh in and look forward to throwing back some cold ones with you guys!!
