Heavy winds and high waves plagued anglers during Day One.

SANDUSKY, Ohio — Due to unsafe weather conditions and in the best interest of all concerned, BASS has canceled Day 2 of the CITGO Bassmaster Northern Tour event on Lake Erie, scheduled to take place Friday, Oct. 6.

The tournament will conclude as scheduled on Saturday, Oct. 7. The full field will fish on Saturday and receive payouts based on those final standings.

Anglers on the pro side are vying for a first-place payout of $30,000 in cash and a Triton boat rig worth $45,000. Co-anglers are up against each other for a top prize of a Triton boat package valued at $30,000. Total payout for the tournament is $324,650 in cash and merchandise to the top 60 pros; the top 50 co-anglers share a payout of $68,800 in prizes.

The Lake Erie tournament is the fourth of five events on the CITGO Bassmaster Northern Tour. In addition to earning enough points to capture one of three 2007 CITGO Bassmaster Classic berths, Northern Tour pros are also building points toward eligibility to move up to the next level of competition, the CITGO Bassmaster Elite Series.
