IS PREFISHING CHANGING?

"I have noticed an interesting phenomena taking place
recently at the B.A.S.S. Tour events. The winner is the
angler who finds a new pattern or area for quality fish that
emerges during the competition. That is to say, the area or
pattern that eventually wins does not work during the
practice period."

That's a quick quote from Jay Yelas, reigning Bass Masters
Classic champion. Click here to read Jay's full story on:
