Mother Nature spoke and the In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail listened. Directors canceled day two of the Lund Pro-Am Thursday, June 30.A severe line of thunderstorms stretched north to south across Michigan, and was headed towards Saginaw Bay, where 120 of the best walleye pro anglers were busy catching walleyes. The forecast called for 35-knot winds, hail and lightning to move across the Bay. At 9:20 a.m., the day was officially canceled.Prior to that, PWT camera crews were busy filming the pros and their amateur/co-angler partners, because the walleyes were really biting. Even though seas were less than two feet, winds pushed those higher on the drive to headquarters. All boats were required to check in once they arrived at Veterans Park in downtown Bay City.A special 3:30 p.m. media session will be conducted at the PWT stage. Lund Pro-Am leader Dave Van Oss, Appleton, Wis., and other top-ranked pros will be present.Day three will be held Friday, July 1, with weigh-in ceremonies starting at 3:30 p.m. at Veterans Park. Approximately $300,000 in cash and merchandise prizes will be awarded immediately following weigh-in. Walleye fans are invited to attend and learn where the pros fished, what they used, and all their secrets.The PWT works closely with the Bay Area CVB: 989-893-1222) and these business partners: Mercury Marine, Lund, The Outdoor Channel, Berkley, Optima Batteries, Realtree, MotorGuide, Lowrance, MinnKota, Trilene, Frenzy, Blue Fox, Powerbait, Johnsonville Brats, Northland Fishing Tackle, Lindy Legendary Fishing Tackle, GULP!, Coleman, Storm, Boat Buckle, Smooth Moves Seat Mounts, Kwik Pfyt, E-Z Loader, Raymarine, Rapala, Matzuo, Pflueger, Ram rod holders, Gerbing’s Heated Clothing, Aqua-Vu, Save Phace, Plano, Stowmaster.net, Navionics, Access Roll-up Cover, Yellow Bird, DOW Chemical, Dave’s Lures, The State Bank Group, Yo-Zuri and Reef Runner.
