22 January (but it is high summer), came 4th in Namibia last year hoping to do better this year. Think I will do better, am fishing out of a Nitro this year.
Mine isnt until the last weekend in april. Thats a long ways away but i will be fishing as soon as the ice is gone.
Trep, If the water is cold down there do yourself a favor and throw a jig and pig. From what i have experienced it is the best cold water bait there is.
March 24 & 25th - Superbass 2004 Classic on Bull Shoals. Good Lord clear water scares the beejesus out me. Any Bull Shoals locals that could provide a possible pattern for that time of year would be mentioned in my nightly prayers from now utill the weigh-in. Even after if I do well!
