Bass Master Classic in Feb.

[wompuscat]

I plan on going to the 2010 Feb classic staying in the Hoover Area by the Riverchase mall.
How far is that from the lake? and the convention center?
Anyone plan on following the pro's around and looking for someone to yak to..
I would be happy to pay for the gas...what about restaurants...I love a good fish seafood one.....

Any info. would be most grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say the best middle of the way point is on Cahaba Valley Road (U.S. 119) that is on Exit 246 off of I-65. This is the Pelham area....there are alot of restaurants close by and it is an easy on and off of the interstate. There is a Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Best Western.
For a little bit different approach, on the same exit (Exit 246), you can stay at Oak Mountain State Park and get a cabin for about the same price as a hotel room (maybe a little more...about $100 a night) and have the ability to stretch out a little. It is a 10,000 acre state park just off the interstate. Cabins have 2 bedrooms, kitchen, and living room on a smaller lake just out the back door. Just look under State Parks at http://www.outdooralabama.com . http://www.alapark.com/OakMountain/Cabins/
I always prefer it because you can cook out or go out to dinner and it is very convenient at that particular location. </TD></TR></TABLE>

I'm gonna be down there. My relatives live off that exit, I'll be staying with them. Maybe we can go out and eat one night.

Wow. I did not know you have any relatives that still claimed you.

I will be down also. I am thinking of stay over on 280 near the Summit at the Wingate. The wife and I stayed there this weekend and she really like it. Good location if you are not going to the lake and have a wife with you. It was only about $60 a night if you book it now on hotels.com. It is a striaght shot to the weigh-in and trade show.

Didn't say they claimed me but they will let me stay with them a few days.

What is the last day of the classic weigh-in ? I thought the last fishing day ended on a Saturday. And does everyone fish all three days ?
Thanks.

I live 10 minutes from Lay Lake and plan to be out there watching the pros. Onebadcat (Jay from the boards) is supposed to come over and ride around with me
