High winds force postponement of Bassmaster Open at Sam Rayburn Reservoir

 

JASPER, Texas — Due to unsafe, sustained high winds, Day 1 of the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Sam Rayburn Reservoir presented by SEVIIN has been postponed to ensure the safety of anglers. Tournament officials made the decision after examining conditions and the body of water early this morning.

“Post-frontal conditions have made navigation unsafe for our competitors,” said Executive Director of Tournaments Hank Weldon. “We are experiencing sustained northerly winds of 15-20 mph, with gusts reaching 25-30 mph. These conditions are expected to persist until later this afternoon. The full field will compete tomorrow.”

The tournament will resume Friday at 7 a.m. at Umphrey Family Pavilion in Brookeland, Texas, with weigh-in at 3 p.m. at the same location.

The event is being sponsored by the Jasper County (Texas) Development District No. 1.

The water on San Augustine Rural WSC

no longer requires boiling.

On January 30, 2025, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
required the San Augustine Rural Public Water System, #2030007,
to issue a Boil Water Notice to inform customers, individuals or employees
that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system,
the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to
use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.

San Augustine Rural Water has taken the necessary corrective actions to
restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used
for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ
with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires
boiling prior to use as of February 4, 2025.
