Possibly. Depends on what I have going on.

Anyone going? I have never been. Is there an entry fee? How do you know what they have for auction? What order do they go?

Seems like a long time to have a fish in a bag for the whole day and the trip home?

Its free you just have to pay for the fish you buy. They place all the bags on randomly tables and then auction them off one by one. You can go around and check them out before and during the auction.

If bagged properly (1part water 4parts air) they should be ok for 24-48 hours, just need to make sure the temp doesnt get to low, I take a duffel bag or styro box with a heat pack in it and put the fish I buy in it. I have been there a few times and the people seem to do a good job at bagging them but I always bring some extra bags, rubberbands, and Prime just in case.
