I realize that its the Classic so technically its not a standard Elite event, but this is REALLY a shot in the dark now. I feel like I know every competitor personally haha. I watch this stuff too much…….. I blame @BigSkyBasser for introducing me to BASS live oh my gosh I forgot Steve Kennedy, he’s a big spotted bass guru also 1 Quote
Finessegenics Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 So this is my DTL team so far. Subject to change, I’m thinking of including Arey instead of Queen. Whether you play DTL or not what do you think? Cherry Walters Cobb Aoki Lehew Marc Frazier Nania Queen Quote

Pick a guy you like in each bucket, and you get points based on their ranking. Sometimes your picks do well, sometimes they don't. 10 hours ago, Finessegenics said: My provisional DTL team looking very similar to yours. I’m scared I’m stacking it too much though, but I feel the anglers I have in mind have their best shot of finishing super high at Hartwell. I’d thought it would be hard to pick 80 different anglers but now I feel like I’m leaving some good ones out. When I was planning the season for DTL, I thought that if I had some hammers that weren't obviously better picks for any other particular event, I'd save them for the classic. I also wanted to include at least one angler who isn't an Elite, as that increases the pool of regular Elite members available for other events. Quote

Or at least I proved to myself that blindly crunching data is no substitute for knowledge of individual angler strengths, weaknesses, home waters, and history. Since you follow the Elites closely, you should be able to field as competitive a set of picks as anyone. 1 Quote
GoldenBear44 Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 Going to Lake Hartwell next week was wanting to know what time they start loading the boats to go to weight-in or is it split up in flights? I understand blast-off is 7am but quitting time ??? Quote

Good Luck!! Since that post I’ve actually changed it, but still not sure if I finalized it: I removed Aoki and Queen and put Stracner and Hamner. I moved Queen to Santee but now I feel like I won’t make use of Aoki this season…maybe on Oahe cause that’s a bit of a crap shoot. 1 Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Super User Posted March 3, 2022 As of now - 20 hours left to make picks. Who is everyone taking? How is this thing going to be won? The weather is looking much different than the past few Hartwell events we've seen. Much warmer temperatures is going to make this a totally different ballgame than it was whenever Ashley and Lee won it. Quote

Also, ever realize you are still using a thirty year old nickname? Congrats! That is awesome. I lucked out and was in the DTL Top 100 for Harris Chain. All of my other picks have been the opposite of what should have been picked! Good luck on the next one. 1 Quote
