Just like last year’s trip to the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame induction dinner, my first stop this year after the rental car counter was the nearby Bait WrX tackle shop. I probably would have chosen that route anyway, but at the recent Swimbait Universe Gathering, Brad Vanderpool asked if I’d ever been there. When I responded that I’d visited in October of 2021, he replied, “It has changed a lot since then.” Challenge accepted, my friend.
