BASS Elite....what gives?

[Travis C.]

No TN scheduled this year?

The Harris Chain should be good...that is one heck of a fishery, so is Toledo Bend....stumps everywhere!

Second that...LOL

I guess they got tired of weighing in 100lb sacks for a tournament on KY Lake.

The lakes look to be good ones but don't be shocked if it is snowing or ice at the Classic in the Delta. Totally unpredictable there. Last time they were there was back when the classics were in the fall.

There's a Southern Division Open at Douglas Lake in June. The FLW is at Kentucky Lake in June. Maybe the Elite's will get rained out again and head back to Old Hickory, instead of the Tennessee Triumph they can call it "Humbled at Old Hickory" or "4 Days of Hell".

roland martin once said that old hickory was the worst lake in the country and it didnt have any fish in it! lol! i dont want fishing my spots anyway! :)

travis as far as the delta goes, this is the earliest they have ever fished it! the fish are usually on beds by end of feb. but i dont think that will be the case this year. there will be big bags brought in, imo! they will all be prespawn fish, and as we all know, they create the biggest bags! go ike!!!!!!!! btw ike won this thing in 2003!!!!!

[Travis C.]

Roland only ever did well in Florida or California anyways......awwww son.

You have to be able to scrap everything two three times and start over to catch big sacks on Old Hickory. You can 't just keep the same pattern and move to another area of the lake for big bags like on some of those huge grass lakes or stump filled ones.

Old Hickory is ultimately three different lakes bottom to top.

[whrizob]

yep! i break it down in 3 parts too! upper, middle, and lower! all three parts offer different fishing!
