If anyone wants a chance to fish with & learn from the pros, you can pre-fish this tourney even if you're not competing in it (like our buddy Tablerock is). Most of the pros will be fishing at least from Friday thru Tuesday morning, and they'll gladly take you out if they don't have a partner for the day. Gives them more lines, net help, etc. Usually how it works, you split the cost for bait/gas and bring a lunch for the pro (like Subway). You use his gear. Usually, it's set up beforehand, but if you show up at the ramp you can usually find a ride.
This may be a once-in-a-lifetime shot for Bull Shoals, so if you're interested check out the PWT's website. I'm pretty sure they can help you find a pro to fish with.
