B.A.S.S. Central Opens Safe to Return to Atchafalaya Basin

The Atchafalaya Basin was scheduled to host the first event of the Central Opens back in February, but heavy rains, major flooding and unsafe navigational waters in the basin caused the tournament to be postponed until Oct. 27-29. High water levels in the basin remained throughout the spring and summer, but the tournament waters are in “good shape” now, according to Bassmaster Elite Series pro Cliff Crochet.
