Seriously? Every gas station, restaurant, and store? LOL!

Pretty sure you can just follow the money , whoever offers the most is where the championship is going to be, they are in business to make a living, can't blame them for that.

I drive 8 hours to fish the basschamps at Rayburn and bend. I live in Arkansas , have a job and just show up and fish. I know locals are gonna kick my butt. It's the competition that makes me try harder. I'm still learning the lakes. Never complain. If I can't make it I just don't. No excuses

I am headed out in a couple of hours to meet up with my partner and prefish the next 2 days. Its all brand new water to both of us but we are going with an open mind and gonna give it hell. We are both excited to fish a new place and look forward to the challenge. We both are shallow water guys if we have the choice so I look forward to fishing the way I like to fish.
Wish everyone going down a safe trip and Champs always does it big at the Championship and that helps make it a great time as well. Be safe, good fishing and have fun.

I have lived in Orange for 30 years and have never had a single issue at any ramp, restaurant, gas station ever with my boat and equipment. Where have you been going?

I don't live down here but I work down here (Sulphur, La) on a 7x7 schedule and fish the Sabine and everywhere else while I'm down here. The people are great, love to tell you where they are fishing and what they caught them on and I have never had a problem with boat or equipment and I have launched at some pretty out of the way places. I really enjoy my time down here. Good luck to all the bass champ teams.

Fish Sabine all the time... no issues that any other town doesn't have. GOOD LUCK to all fishing and will be exciting to see if the river produces or it's the long runs that catch the big ones.

I don't think there is anything wrong in disagreeing with the Site selection for the championship,We paid our dues,fished all the tournaments in our region,qualified and we decided after a weekend trip down to checkout the accommodations not to go.Bad choice in my opinion,would have stayed in Lake Charles if we had gone,in no way would I have stayed in Orange.That just would not have worked out for my wife to go along as she did last year.Mabey some were tired of the Red River and that would be their opinion just as I have mine,would rather have gone to Texoma and given the North and West guys a little easier trip this year.So as far as how many boats will be there,well one less.JMHO
