Look for the lines that form when a pro starts giving away stuff, too. Get in line and see what you get. Have fun! Does the weigh in get completely filled up? How early should you get there if the doors open at 3:15? Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 6, 2018 Super User Posted March 6, 2018 Sideways, I did not go the the weigh-in as I was having too much fun at the exhibition hall and my wife was picking me up around 5 to meet Glenn and the guys for dinner. I understand the weigh-in is a blast and there are lots of seats. If you get there when the doors open you should be fine. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 6, 2018 Super User Posted March 6, 2018 I'm predicting Ott Defoe . I expect him to win a classic or AOY soon . 1 Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted March 7, 2018 Super User Posted March 7, 2018 @Cdewyse I take a bus that's provided by the city of Greenville from the Expo to the weigh-in site. It's best to get in line early for the weigh- in.... They don't open the doors early and the line wraps around the block quickly. Quote

Super User whitwolf Posted March 7, 2018 Super User Posted March 7, 2018 @Cdewyse let me do some checking and I will get back to you o, times. I think my wife and I got on the first bus out and stood in line for a little over an hour. Quote

Super User senile1 Posted March 12, 2018 Super User Posted March 12, 2018 This is the week! Who's going to step up? After 7 AOYs and 4 Classic wins, does anyone think KVD still has some magic left in that bottle to set a Classic record of 5 wins? Quote

The competition will be tough . . . . that's for sure. It wouldn't bother me if Van Dam did pull one more rabbit out of the hat though. Each year that passes will make it tougher. I would like to see a new record. I think Roland Martin's 9 AOYs are beyond reach, personally. 1 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 12, 2018 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 12, 2018 Keri and I will be there, wandering the aisles at the expo each day. Step up and introduce yourself if you see us! 3 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted March 13, 2018 Author Super User Posted March 13, 2018 This weekend's weather for the Superbowl of bass fishing is interesting. Friday's forecast see's intervals of clouds & sunshine with air temps up to 70 degrees with a 10-15 mph Westerly wind. Saturday's temps expected to drop 20 degrees to the low 50's with an East wind, overcast skies & 50% chance of RAIN. ENE winds 5-10 mph. For the Final day on Sunday, should / could see the sunshine again (with some scattered clouds) and air temps rebounding back up into the mid-60's. The wind is expected to back around to NNE by again stay near the 5-10 mph mark. Certainly not 'stable' conditions, sort of seasonal, and not nearly as brutally cold as the last Classic here where the first day launch temps were brutally cold. I think single digits if I remember correctly. This forecast appears a whole lot more fishable. Could see more fish shallow. Be interested to see how Casey Ashley's deep brush pile bites go over these there days.

Super User senile1 Posted March 13, 2018 Super User Posted March 13, 2018 Good information, A-Jay. Though that second day cold front could shut the bite down a bit, it will definitely be better than the single digit morning they had the last time it was at Hartwell. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone adjusts on day two and three. 2 Quote
