In this part 7 series I am going to break down how I pre fish a lake and talk strategies. This will be a 6 part mini series within part 3 of Pre Pre Fish. Been asked what I do to get ready for my tournaments.

2012 INJURED WARRIOR BASS FISHING EVENT WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO "WARRIOR FOUNDATION" AND "FREEDOM STATION" WARRIORFOUNDATION.COM AND FREEDOMSTATION.ORG .It was an honor to be apart of the 2012 Wounded Warrior Event this year at Diamond Valley Lake.

Another great year for the Women in the Outdoors with over 550 ladies enjoying a few days playing and getting dirty. 3 classes for advanced fishing in a day and a half and over 1500 fish caught on the float and fly (7 1/2 hours total).

Another great day on the water fishing the National Bass West tournament over here at Diamond Valley Lake on March 4, 2012. You would not believe the power of a Spro Phat Fly until an 11.48 pound bass sucks it in and takes you for a ride. One key piece to the puzzle was the use of my double Power-Poles to hold still.

Found myself having a hard time catching keeper fish at DVL during my pre-fish and dropped back with one of my favorite techniques "float and fly" to catch some nice keepers. Day of the tournament the fog rolled in until 11:00 and was able to finished out my limit on a day when many could not. Took a top 5 by myself and had a great day on the water.

The recent BassMaster Elite Series event on Lake Amistad only proved that most of the professional fraternity is a long ways off from understanding the true power of big baits. While it could have been the coming-out party for big-bass methods, Amistad may have actually stalled the progress.
