So I spent most of yesterday bouncing around the internet, reading reports, blogs, etc.  Watching for updates, watched the live weigh-in and also have watched yesterday’s coverage on the deuce twice this morning.

Here are my takes & thoughts:
Looks like fish are being caught several ways, and both deep & shallow.
Charlie Hartley got it done with a jig in mid-depth areas, hopefully he can keep it up, he would be a great Classic Champ.
KVD is the man and always a thread if you have not figured that out.  He said he is sticking with his Strike King Series 5 crankbait, in a modified Sexy Shad, more of a Sexy Herring!
Sounds like Kotaro Kiriyama caught all his fish with a Wacky Jig and a Jackall Flick Shake worm.
Scott Rook & Bobby Lane looked to be both using an old reliable Shad Rap.
Ike appeared to get his bites on what looked to be a Football jig, which is surprising because McClelland & Remitz pretty much bombed on day 1.

I think tonights TV coverage will be much better, because they will better know who to follow.  Look for about half the guys on top to repeat and be the main contenders, while the rest of the field will flip flop a bit, but we will likely be down to less then 10 guys that have a legitimate shot at the crown going into Sunday and it may be less than that.

Other things I noticed:
Bobby Lane is running dual Power Poles on his Skeeter, never seen that before.  That may be a sign of a guy that really likes his shallow water.
Lot of guys said they wanted the Sun, so lets see if those guys make a move today, as reports are that the sun is bright in SC toady.

If you are bored today, waiting for updates on the Bassmaster Blog, bounce over to My eBay sellers page & check out the goods I am selling.  Got some great Lucky Craft Baits, Shimano Reels NIB, BassTrix, & more!

Tight Lines,
