Hats off to'em.

Pre-fishing???? Lake's off limits until first cast Saturday morning. However, I guarantee people that fish Bass Champs go out during the off limits during the week. Guess they figure, well, if I only catch enough to get a check and not win then I won't get polygraphed. As quoted from Bass Champs website:
"6. PRE-TOURNAMENT PRACTICE: All Bass Champs Qualifying Team Events have a 5-day off-limits period, which consists of the Monday-Friday prior to the tournament. No Contestant may be on designated tournament waters for any reason during the official off-limits period except for the following dates: Memorial Day, May 28th, 2018 Labor Day, September 3rd, 2018"

However last week wasn't much better. Still looking for some good bags though. Somebody will figure them out. Probably water up in the bushes by now.

Lake is up a little less than a foot in the last 24 hours. But I agree with Mark, we are all going to be fishing the same conditions. And like others have said, the urge to get ready to spawn trumps a lot of conditions that can get thrown at them. https://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/individual/fork

It's a week off limits and nobody I know fishes after Sunday. And yes, lake came up a foot over night and will prolly come up another foot or so before its all said and done. But Mark said it right, we are all fishing same conditions. Should be fun!

Where it's going to get really tough is the lake rising and the gates open at the same time. But I concur we will all be faced with the same conditions. All we can do is go out and give it our best and hope for the best. Then move on to the next one.

Those creeks are blown out and water is like chocolate milk in Running, parts of Glade, Coffee and other creeks.
