MLF Fantasy Picks Wheeler Lake, Updated!

 

These Predictor Picks are tentative, as that answers are not locked in until Tuesday morning. 

I changed a few of my picks on Predictor before the lock. Dumping Shuffield looks like it was the right call.

MLF Douglas & Cherokee Fantasy Picks

 Getting these picks out a little late. MLF didn't have their act together, assigning picks to the days they are fishing. I only had 3 guys fishing on the first day, as you can see below. Hopefully, it doesn't matter and all my picks advance.

Yikes! TW Tour Fantasy Clarks Hill

I did not pay attention to who did and didn't make the cut on my fantasy roster. Yikes is right. Only Moynagh,Wheeler, and Weaver made the cut.  Somehow I'm still ahead of Hellabass in points for TW.

 

TW/MLF Clarks Hill Fantasy Roster

 

Flight 2 was filled with many anglers I'd never heard of. Hopefully, Bolton comes through for me.

Fantasy Fish Post Mortem

Update: Final Fantasy Standing for the Elites. A weak roster at a tournament where just a good roster would have gotten me paid. Blown opportunity.

 

Well, for me, this round of Fantasy Bass Fishing has ended a day prematurely due to my decision to go with Chris Johnston instead of Drew Cook. I think my best game was the MLF Predictor, where I got 2 out of 6, just narrowly missing two more questions. I beat Hellabass in Predictor and BPT. In BPT, I only had Chris Lane, who won, and J. Lee, who finished 9th. 

As far as BASS Fantasy goes, Hella crushed me in both games. It looks to me like Drain The Lake was a wasted roster with only one guy in the high teens and the rest in 30th or below. Yeah, I am in the 56 percentile, but I will be way behind the leaders once bonus points are issued tomorrow. It was a blown opportunity for me in regular Fantasy. Had I played it safe with Martin and kept Cook in my line-up, I would be contending to make some money. So glad the Elites fish again next week. I've still got to fill a couple of positions on Hella's spreadsheet for my Drain the Lake on Seminole. 

Fantasy Fishing Status Elites and MLF

None of my anglers had a notable day 1. With Scott Martin sacking 'em in Bucket C, Bryan Schmitt is why I have a dumpster fire percentile. I need all my guys to make the cut, which is doable. A 17lb bag isn't a huge ask for Schmitt and Hamner, and Prince might make it just by holding par with Day 1. Hopefully, all of my guys will get the big bite they lacked on Day 1.

MLF at the Half Waypoint

 Not having everybody advance is a buzzkill; losing more than half my anglers in Group A really sucks. If I get 5 guys to the Championship Round, I'll consider it a win. Both of my Predictor Game choices advanced.

 

BPT Kissimmee Chain Fantasy Bass, My Picks

And here are my Predictor Game guesses:

TW Tour Big O Fantasy Post Mortem

 Well, the kid being late to check in on Day 2 cost me about 10 lbs, which sucks because I would have gained ground on just about every once of improvement. But my anglers just couldn't hold it together on Day 3, and most of them dropped. A once-promising lineup lands me in 500th Place. Got to do better than that. 

On to Kissimmee and back at the Big O for the Elites next week. I'm luvin it. BPT starts on Monday.

Good Day That Don't Mean Jack Squat

 

Not worried about Wheelers, I think there is room to grow in this flight.

When I turned on the coverage in the afternoon, and David Walker was on screen, I knew immediately it was a good sign. The next two guys they went to was B Lat and C. Lane and, shortly after that, Michael Neal.  

I was surprised to be all the way down in 212 Place after Day 1. McCormick killed me being 4lbs back from the average bag. He holds the key to my teams success at this point. If he rallies big and everybody else holds serve, I could easily be in the prizes tomorrow. I am in 9th Place in the  Hellabass League and less than 10lbs from the leader.

Tackle Warehouse Tour Big O Fantasy Roster

Flight 1 

 

Flight 2

As far as I can tell, the "Flight" really only applies to the Bass Pro Tour where I think they will still spit the field for the first 4 competition days. Everybody fishes the first two days on the Tackle Warehouse Tour.
