Location: Sw Pennsylvania | After having debated the subject for a few days, and Jim getting information from PA and NY biologists, New York Biologist Mike Chancy, western New york region, we have decided that the tournament will go on as planned. A few changes will ensue, 1st and foremost, We are setting the cutoff point of the tournament if the temps on average across the lake from people on both basins is above 82 dgs. by 2pm on Saturday July 21st the tournament will be suspended til sunday morning again at 7am, to take pressure off the fish in high temps, if not the tournament can be fished out til 8pm as planned. I (Joel Morrow) will be making the call after getting temps from a few people on different ends and areas of the lake. My phone # will be posted on rules sheet, if anyone doesn't have a marine radio and can't receive the announcement your are urged to call me to get the update. 2nd, signup will now be between 6 and 7am on the 21st, tournament will start at 7am on saturday instead of 8am. If you know of anybody fishing the tournament that doesn't read the forums or websites, please update them to the changes. From this point out i take it upon myself to hear all the problems and concerns and questions, please pass them along to me not Jim Burr or Joe Houck. I will be the one making the calls from this point out.
