Need some help from the board on a big tournament this weekend. The tournament payout is 9K with first place paying a cool 5K. The format is a buddy tournament with a five fish limit on my home lake. Normally I have no problem catching keeper fish on this lake but the conditions are horrible due to the lack of rain. The lake is continuing to drop and most of the cover is high and dry on the bank. The water temperature last week was 78 degrees and conditions for Saturday are calling for a cold front with rain. My plan is to down size my jig to 3/8 oz. and hit the wood that is still in the water. My c-rig will have a finesse style worm and will cast to the many sloping points that run near a creek channel. I am also planning to throw 10 -12 foot diving small crankbaits on the rocky points and near creek channels. And of course, i will have my trusty topwater rod near just in case we run across schooling fish. One more thing to add: I will be fishing out of my partners Triton and wwill be working these baits from the rear deck, something I am not used too. Looking to prefish tomorrow in the rain and need some advise. What would you do to get five quality fish in this scenario?
