⚠️

Tournament Days

Expect crowded ramps at dawn. Blast-off is typically at safe light (6:30-7:00 AM). Consider launching from alternate ramps.

🎯

Fishing Pressure

Large tournaments (100+ boats) create significant pressure. Fish often move deeper or become more finicky for 1-2 days after.

💡

Pro Tip

The day after a major tournament can be excellent fishing as pressure subsides and fish resume normal patterns.
