We've made it to our hotel in Duluth, Ga and we've already ran into Trisha Blake, VP of Marketting for FLW Outdoors. She said there is some big new announcements coming this week during the event. She felt like things had turned the corner and there would be some new announcements that will be good for everyone.
The anglers seem to be ready for the event and are probably just sitting down to the pre-tournament dinner. The weather this week is going to be brutally hot with lots of sun and lots of high temperatures. But the fish are biting deep.
Some speculated that the low water last year and subsequent high water this year would put a lot of bass in between their normal deep haunts and the bank in the new cover that got established during the low water periods.
But we talked to several locals, and they said the fish are well established in their deep haunts. And we even heard that there are some nice largemouth deep that could be a wild card in the predominantly spotted bass lake.
The bluebacks are in the lake and that always seems to throw anglers a huge curveball. But it sounds like they've gone real deep and may not be as big a factor as many predicted they would be going into the event.
Whatever the case is with the fish, some anglers will catch them better than they thought they could, and some won't catch them like they thought they could. Eventually someone will win and there will be some drama sandwiched in the middle as to who is going to walk away $500,000 or $600,000 richer.
We're ready to get this thing on, and so are the pros.
