SBO CLASSIC MAIN EVENT LOCATION

So that nobody gets lost or confused, here are some directions to the SBO Classic Weigh-in, Expo and Awards venue. Finding an address that would make MapQuest.com lead you right to the SBO Weigh-In location took hours and hours or searching and experimentation as well as many phone calls last year. But, I finally figured it out as follows. Simply use this address for the destination:

15656 State Road 52
Land O Lakes, FL 34638

The above address is near the intersection of State Road 52 and the Suncoast Parkway. It is across the street from the little road named Arlic Pottberg Road (but don't use that street in Mapquest) that leads to the Rotary Pavillion which is the scene of the event. There are also general directions on the website www.spearboardopen.com.

REMEMBER!
The weigh-in line gate closes at
exactly 11:30AM Sunday May 18

If you are not in line at that time, you will not be allowed to weigh fish.

Here is the exact GPS coordinate:

N28 19.907 W82 33.674

Here are some recent images I took of the area. The Rotary Pavillion is across from the Sherriff's Safety Town.

CAPTAIN'S MEETING LOCATION

The optional Captain's Meeting this year will be on Thursday night, May 15 at Wing House of Tampa, 8001 W. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa, FL 33615, 813-806-WING This address also works in MapQuest.
