So, you’re a serious tournament Bass Angler and you have your sights set on the U.S. Open? Here are some tips for planning a full tactical assault on the elusive Bass.
Conduct Research-
Search the internet for the results of past tournaments held at the same lake. In this case, Lake Mead, outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Take note of the winning lures or presentations, any productive areas mentioned, as well as what weights were needed to win. For the best results, look up results for the same time of year as well. This information can prove to be very valuable, as we know that history often repeats itself in relation to bass activity.
