While a February Bassmaster Classic almost assures it will never be in my back yard, I do admit it if fun to look forward to this time of year. Today was the last official day of practice for the 49 anglers, tomorrow is media day and the tournament action starts Friday morning Hopefully we do not have the fog delays that plagued the 2011 Bassmaster Classic.
For those that have been part of my Fantasy Fishing leagues in the past, I have joined forces with Bass Utopia. So join the Bass Utopia League, they will be doling out the prizes, I think the winner of Classic week will be winning a Abu Garcia Veritas flipping stick!!!! So be sure to join the group, play every week and you could be a winner!
If you need help picking a lineup, check out our Fantasy Fishing Insider podcast. Too lazy for that, check out my starting lineup for this year’s Classic. I will be posting my lineups here all season long, but you will have to tune into the podcast to get the logic and details.
Along with the Classic, comes the itch to start buying tackle and gear, so to make room, I have been adding things to my eBay store this week, so check it out for some bargains!
Also, quick report on the 2nd Elimination Round from Major League Fishing, it may have been more exciting then the first show. Couple of notables:
Alabama Rig or Meat Rake was a factor again
IKE goes psycho, big surprise???
Jerkbait is a major player again
Flipping Bite is found
Anticipation grows for the next episode, waiting a week between episodes has been only downside thus far…
