PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — B.A.S.S. officials are postponing Day 2 competition at the Dakota Lithium Bassmaster Elite at Lake Champlain due to forecasted severe thunderstorms and winds gusting to 25 mph that are expected to make conditions unsafe for boating and related tournament activities.
The full field of anglers will now compete on Saturday, with only the Top 50 advancing to Sunday’s semifinal round. The Top 10 will compete for the championship on Monday.
Daily takeoffs will be held at 7 a.m. ET from Plattsburgh City Marina and weigh-ins will be held each day back at the marina at 3 p.m. FS1 will broadcast live with the leaders beginning at 8 a.m. Full coverage will be available on Bassmaster.com.
