Yes you can. You will need to call Marina Shores to get a transient slip. There is typically a charge for this. Let me call them and see if they will allow it at no charge. As soon as I talk to them I will post back here.

Awsome! I appreciate it!

OK - I talked to Marina Shores. They are making G wall available to all tournament participants at no charge. You do not have to call them. Next year there may be a small fee - they want to see how it goes.

So launch your boat Friday at portage marina, drive it over to Marina Shores and pick any open slip on G Wall. G wall is the first slips you see on the north side as you pull in and have no security entry gates etc. There will be trailer parking coned off in the main parking lot for the trailers.

Right now the weather does not look the best for next weekend so lets hope that changes. We will announce if Saturday is a go or no go by 5pm friday if not earlier. We try to do it early enough so everyone can plan. If saturday is bad, it will be pushed to sunday. If sunday is also bad, then it will be pushed to the following weekend.

Fishing remains very good near shore. To bad Saturday still looks bad but at least sundays weather has improved. Hopefully as the days go forward we can see more improvement with winds and temperatures.

Hey Guys - just throwing this out there. As of now Sunday looks to be a much better day based on the wind forecasts. Things can change alot over a few days but I just wanted to throw that out there for planning purposes. We should have a good idea by thursday but will probably not make a final call til friday late afternoon at the latest.

That would great to know asap on the contest. There are a few more southerners now on the site. I am coming up with a buddy and would be great to not have to spend a day in a motel or hotel waiting to go fishing. Looks like Sunday and Monday will be good days albeit cold for fishing.

well the weather just changed again. Now both days look sketchy. We will keep an eye on it and provide updates daily to what we think. Mother Nature sure has been crabby this year.

As of right now, Saturday looks bad, and Sunday seems possible. Sunday looks to have light SE winds the first half of the day, then NE in the afternoon. This forecast seems to change daily.

Of course the weather looks sketchy, I planned to fish this tournament. This was to be my first time fishing in any South End event just to get a chance to meet some of the folks on this forum. Sure seems like whenever I plan to go fishing lately, the weather turns to crap. When the weather is great, I have no one able to go with me. Oh well, I’m holding out hope the forecast for the weekend will improve. I’ll see if I can bring some of the beautiful weather we’ve had this week in Gulf Shores, AL, back with me Friday.

Please bring up that nice weather! We need it. Throughout today, the weather for Sunday has continually improved. If it stays this way we will have a chilly day but a nice flat lake and not have to deal with any winds so while cool, it will be at least a pleasant cool.
