Yes, there is an outdoor "festival" associated with it.
Maybe less "festival" but there is take off and "weigh in". To be determined about concerts and fun events.

They should have whatever they have at a regular Elite stop, although they still do catch weigh release format this event is not the Texas Fest, BASS Fest or TTBC anymore.

Went a few years ago. There's a small expo (maybe 20 vendors) and then the weigh in. Maybe take off too but I didn't get there that early. Cars were parked for 1/2 mile on both sides of the entrance.
Looked like it would have been a fun deal but it rained the night before and mud was ankle deep (literally).

When in doubt, set the hook.

Everyone is saying the bite is tough like they do every year before they get there. Then they will rush them and suddenly everyone knew about that bite before they got there. Happens every year.

Haven't been on Fork but noticed the same, shad spawn was strong 2 weekends ago, last weekend it was much weaker and you had to be there at the butt crack of dawn to capitalize on it, it was over quick! If they are doing that FLW style made for TV later takeoff they are going to miss it.

It will be won offshore. The top guys won't be chasing the shad spawn.

Numbers are going to be very good. Big shad mid day should be on for the swimbait guys. Canโt wait.
