Morning Launch - Higgins Ferry
It has been over 4 months and
now the dreams and hard work of
24 WBT anglers has finally come
full circle. 12 pro anglers and
12 co anglers arrived in
Birmingham on Monday, February
19 to compete in the first ever
Women's Bassmaster Championship
on Lake Mitchell.

Rain clouds and heavy fog
could not dampen the spirits of these ladies as they were
treated to hot coffee and breakfast upon arriving at the Higgins
Ferry launch site. It was business as
usual for BASS officials as it is their job to see that
everything runs according to schedule. Practice day was
conducted just like a regular tournament day and began with a
morning prayer and the
singing of the national anthem by Deborah Wilkinson, WBT
tournament director.
Anglers are following a busy itinerary all
week. They were required to arrive on Monday where they checked
in at the Birmingham Sheraton Hotel and received their
credentials. Tuesday's schedule included registration, contender
briefings, practice day pairings, boat orientation, equipment
preparation and a late evening welcome reception.
After a few hours practice today, they
will return to the check-in site at Higgins Ferry and then will
be driven back to their hotel. This evening will be equally busy
with media interviews followed by an Elite dinner where each
angler is allowed to bring one guest.
Then it is off to bed as the big day
approaches and they depart Birmingham Boat Yard for Higgins
Ferry and the first day of competition. Co-anglers will fish
Thursday and Friday, being paired with different pros each day.
The winner of the co-angler division will be decided at Friday's
weigh-in. The WBT weigh-in is at Higgins Ferry on Thursday and
at the ESPN Classic Outdoor Expo on Friday. On Saturday,
co-anglers will fish as observers for the pros and the Pro
Champion will be crowned on stage at the Classic Pre-Show in the
Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Center.
