For
the second time in the 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series season, B.A.S.S. was forced
to postpone an Elite event because of massive flooding and unsafe boating
conditions. And for the first time in Elite Series history, one of those events
has been canceled altogether, the organization announced today.
The Huk
Bassmaster Elite at Upper Chesapeake Bay presented by Mossy Oak Fishing will
not be rescheduled, said Bruce Akin, CEO.
“By the time
conditions on the upper Chesapeake Bay improved enough for competition, our
great hosts at Harford County, Md., were unable to accommodate our event,” he
said. “We could have switched the event to another fishery, but in
consideration of Elite anglers who had important obligations during the times
we had available, we elected to end the season with eight qualifying events,
instead of the nine we had planned.
