The Big Year - 4/16/18

Grady Johnson's Longear Sunfish entry

April continues to challenge us with ever changing weather!  With the first half of April bringing inconsistent weather, the second half of April should bring more pleasant weather.  Hopefully, as the weather improves, more members will be able to partake in the fun!  With an upcoming club outing at The Farm Ponds this Saturday, there is a great opportunity to get on the leaderboard this upcoming week!

Also, just as a reminder:
Please be sure to submit all CPR entries to nolaffc@gmail.com so we can track them more accurately.
Remember, it isn't the size of the fish that's important, it's the diversity of fish species that will determine the winner.The time of 1st entry will be the tie-breaker (in the event it is needed).Most importantly, have fun!


The Big Year is off and running, full steam ahead!  I can't wait to see everyone's catches in the upcoming months.  If you haven't had the opportunity to pickup a stamped tournament ID card, please let either myself, A.J. Rosenbohm, or Jimmie Hyatt know so you can participate in The Big Year!  Please take advantage of this tournament, and use it as an opportunity to catch fishes you normally don't pursue within the FFI Gulf Coast Council region.
