GOOD MORNING - DAY TWO!

Good morning, ERC teams!! Welcome to day TWO of the 2025 Elbow Reef Classic.

Majority of the fleet is fishing today, with THREE teams declaring a lay day. Lines in is at 8:00 AM. We will monitor VHF channel 72. You may also call, text or WhatsApp your releases to me (Allison) at 407-721-3998, if you are not getting me on the radio. A release verification will ALWAYS be relayed back to you — if you don't hear me respond with your verification, I do not hear you :)

Safe seas, tight lines, and GOOD LUCK!
