The weather forecast for Saturday's start to the spring striped bass season looks more like an audition for the opening of Gilligan's Island.
High winds (gusts to 40 knots) and high seas (four feet) will toss many tiny ships and many cookies. Throw in a chance of nasty thunderstorms and the picture is complete.
So the organizers of Eastport's Boatyard Bar and Grill 10th annual catch-and-release tournament have adjusted accordingly.
Restaurant owner Dick Franyo says the "measure in" of digital photos has been moved from Saturday to Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Registered anglers who wish to be considered must be on line by 4:30. The winners will be announced at 5.
Franyo says competitors can fish both days as long as they make the cut-off time.
Good luck and stay safe.
