With the five days of official pre-practice over, the 53 contenders in the CITGO Bassmaster Classic presented by Busch Beer July 30-Aug. 1st have 30 days to cool their heels. But it won't exactly be idle time with the most important title of professional fishing on their minds.

Although they can't be on Lake Wylie or get information on its fishery before arriving in Charlotte, the preparation is well underway for the Classic pros who share a common goal locating and catching the 15 biggest bass during the three-day Classic XXXIV competition.
