Default Bassmaster Classic 2010

We'd kind of hijacked the other thread about the Classic by making plans to attend, so I thought I'd start a new one. And since I "own" this thread, I can talk about anything I please.

Bubba, are you still thinking about going, and how serious are you about it? I've got the OK from my better half, and so has Bama. It's maybe 4 hours from here to the Expo in Birmingham, which is also where the weigh-ins happen. It's another maybe 30-45 minutes south to the launch on Lay Lake, if we want to watch blast-off at 7 a.m.

The schedule for the Expo is
Friday, 12 p.m. - 8 p.m. CT
Saturday, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. CT
Sunday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. CT


If we drive over Saturday, we might could go both days, Saturday and Sunday. Maybe catch the weigh-in Saturday at 3 p.m. if we leave early enough, but I wouldn't count on it. Might could make it Sunday at 3:30 p.m., if we can get a spot before the crowd gets out of hand.

So, Bubba, what say you? Meet somewhere in Meridian on Saturday like you suggested and carpool over?

Anybody else that might be there, speak up...

I will also have to get a letter notarized from Flea. But let me talk to her for a day or so and use my sweet voice. I can maybe con her in to it. I would sort of like to make it just a one day event though unless I can bring 2 of my boys. The way I work, I only get to see my oldest boy a lot on the weekend with school and everything. That's usually why I fish during the week. But then again, he might want to come with me, and Tanner too, which I am assuming would be alright. It would be like tolerating me times 3, but we will be good. I will get back with you on it though. PM me a # and I will get with you this week.

I gotta get to Wal-Mart and get some poster board so I can make some signs (Well my wife can do it). Can I promote the site Kevin? If you see it on ESPN, can we get some t-shirts?

Yeah, if Lisa doesn't want to see Caitlyn, that's fine. I'll have to break the news to her tonight...maybe she'll cry herself to sleep by 3 or 4 a.m...

Looks like I will be wearing a beanie. Man, they mess my hair up some kind of bad. I wanted to look good posing with the pros too.

The only way you'd look good posing with the pros is if you weren't in the picture.

The weather will sure make for some tough fishing, but I prefer seeing them having to work for each bite versus watching everybody pull in 4 and 5 pounders all the time. I wouldn't really learn anything if everybody found there was a good, say, spinnerbait pattern in 4-8 feet of water near lily pads, for example. But if there IS no discernible pattern, and everybody is thinking, working, searching for something that works...one guy throwing jigs in 25 feet of water, one guy with a deep crank on ledges, one flipping brush with plastics, or slow rolling spinnerbaits over stumps...that's what I'd like to see.

That doesn't mean I'd like to actually FISH in that kind of situation, though.

Don't forget your pink hoodie for photo ops with Kevin Short, 601. It is going to be a grueling battle of the wits, I believe. I just hope the DVR doesn't switch to American Idol or something my wife is recording while I am gone. It did that too me last year on the 2 hour Sunday show.

Ok daniel and bubba. Lisa said the she will do whatever louann and felica wants to do. If they want, she will take them to the GALLARIA (SPELLING?), only the largest shopping mall in birmingham. Just remember to bring your cards, i'll hold onto them for oyu guys. LMAO!

Ok Bubba, if you and your clan drive over Friday, when are you going back home? Louann and I are debating whether to come Friday night after work, or early Saturday morning. Either way, we'll probably wind up staying till Sunday.

We are coming home after the weigh in Sunday. She said we have to be heading out of B'Ham by 6:00. I hope to get everything packed back up, only the Lord knows what she will bring, Saturday night or after the blast off Sunday morning. Then I thought we could go back to the expo or just take them to the mall or some other shops after everything opens at 12. And head to the weigh in / expo about 1. I am keeping it skinny on my mall time. Are y'all planning on staying at the same hotel?

I might be able to make it. I have to make some calls first though. I'll be there saturday if everything pans out like I hope. Won't be staying overnight because it isn't that long of a drive but might see some of y'all there.
