We are going to wrap up blog coverage for today. Thanks for following along for the final day of practice and angler check-in.

Here is a glance at the weather forecast during competition hours tomorrow. It looks like there may be a slight chance for storms around take off and then clear out by the early afternoon. The additional cloud cover in the morning could make things a little interesting. But one thing to watch will be the afternoon bite for the later boat numbers. Conditions look like they will set up best after 12:00 PM for the ledge fish to really turn on.
