WEATHER CONDITIONS
Saturday, August 17th: The 80 anglers and the weigh teams had to
endure driving rain all morning with the wind
speed increasing up to 70 km/hr from the NW in
the afternoon. In the afternoon the temperature
only reached 15 C (60 F). It was truly a day of
misery for the anglers and the weigh teams who
tried desperately hard to keep their electronic
scales and receipt books as dry as possible.
Sunday, August 18th: It was very calm at start time and the day started
out with broken clouds. The temperature reached
about 22 C (71 F) by 2:00 p.m. It was a much more
enjoyable day of fishing for the 74 anglers who
ventured out.

To all those anglers who competed in the 2002 Cats On The Red Catfish Classic
Stu McKay and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. As Tourney Co-Chairman I sincerely
apologize to those teams who had to exchange their prizes as the result of an error in
our weight recordings for a couple of teams. We hope when the tournament is held
next year that each team will have a representative checking out its total weight for
both days at the scorekeeper’s table. See Rule #9 for this year’s tournament.
