With the Super Bowl & the Daytona 500 in our rear view mirror, let us focus on what is really important…
The 2008 Bassmasters Classic!!!!

This really culminates the beginning of major tournament fishing for this year.  Sure we have had a few Triple A events (BASS Opens, FLW Series, PAA Qualifier), but now its time to get into serious major league bass tournament action.
So if you do not have your fantasy fishing line ups in, now is the time to do so.  Set reminders in your office calenders so you can stream live video of the weigh in on Friday afternoon.  Get your DVR’s all set to records the hours & hours of Classic coverage on the ESPN networks.  Vist the Classic Website, check out Charlie Hartley’s Blog….

5 Things to think about as you make your Classic picks:
1. Will another local take home the crown in likeness of Boyd Duckett, did he snap the jinx and now the flood gates will open?  Should you hitch your wagon to Casey Ashley, Todd Auten, or Jeff Coble?

2.  Will the guys that ruled at Clarks Hill with Football jigs reign supreme again at Hartwell? If so, maybe Mike McClelland or Derek Remitz can take the crown…

3.  Is the AllTell car of Ryan Newman winning the Daytona 500 a sign of things to come for Scott Rook?

4. Can Boyd be the first Classic champ to repeat since Rick Clunn?  He supposedly has some history on Hartwell

5.  Do any of the 6 Federation Nation contenders have what it takes to rock the boat in Brian Kerchal like fashion?

Check back soon, I will post my Fantasy & Super 6 picks sometime this week.

Also welcome my newest email subscribers, we are up to 60!!
