Well MLF canceled day 1 of the Toyota on Texoma. So it brings me to the question is this to become the new norm for tournament fishing? Seems this has been more common this year than ever before. Personally I don’t care for it and don’t mind fishing in high wind, but fishing Texoma regularly I have gotten use to big water and I make my runs accordingly.Is it a possible insurance situation? What are your thoughts?

Tournament cancellations and delays single choice
	Agree with cancellations, it will be the new norm
	Agree to an extent, severe conditions (30+ mph wind,storms)
	Disagree, the anglers signed up to fish let them fish
	Disagree, it is the boaters choice on making runs or not

30-40 mph winds is bad on a small lake. Stupid to launch on a big lake.

I agree with that, anything less and I say fair game

While some of the recent cancellations both MLF and BASS have been questionable I think they made a good call today

A 20mph wind on Texoma although running may not be the most enjoyable thing it is fishable.

I thought it was 30 to 40 forecast today, maybe the WBAP weather guy is wrong?

I could be wrong I’m using weather underground app but it’s not showing anything higher than 23

Really high winds, very severe thunderstorms or ice on the roads or ramp are the only good reasons to cancel. Dense fog may cause a delayed start.

This is weather underground for Pottsboro Tx.

It's just fishing it should not be life or death. I am pretty secure in my manhood. I don't have to run big waves in high winds to prove anything.

I have no issues when a trail errs on the side of safety.

As nice as it seems right now it is Thursday, and I should be fishing our weekly tournament.

But the TD cancelled it due to the forecast on Tuesday evening. In our club, which is mostly seniors, we tend to always err on the side of safety.

I have watched MLF many times and they often cancel for a day when there is bad weather approaching. And they pull their anglers, judges, camera people, and commentators off the water for a few hours or longer when bad weather is approaching.
Just recently the Elites cancelled a day.

So, because the OP is used to fishing in heavy water near his house all the rest of us must too.

I did not say anyone should have to fish in anything they are uncomfortable with. I just stated I’m use to running big water just do to the nature of Texoma. I completely agree with cancelling events in severe situations winds over 30 or sever storms. I just asked if everyone’s opinion take it for what it is. I’m not fishing the toTexoma event so I could honestly care less about them cancelling today. Don’t be so quick to judge I refuse to take anyone with me in high winds due to safety reasons I don’t want to put other people in. If I make I stupid choice to fish high winds that’s my own choice.

Ah I didn’t see that I just looked at the hourly


This post wasn’t pertaining strictly too The current MLF events just all the cancellations in general. I was curious on everyone’s thoughts and if any TD’s know of outside reasonings that maybe the common public doesn’t know

cancelations are very hard for tournament directors it kind of like a balance of saving fishermen from themselves. you cant please everybody.

Nope and you never will. Cancelations will always have controversy … just seems to be way more of it going on lately
