well, i will have to be working for most of the upcomming tournaments, but here is what i have found. if you want to catch quality fish on brl right now. early am go extreem shallow for some bassmaster type action. you will need 40lb spider wire braid, or 20lb spider mono will work. i get about 15 percent more bites using the new double bladed buohyaa buzz. color is not making a diffrence, untill sun pops out. then go dark colors. during the day and night time, you will have to DOWNSIZE your plastics. i was using a 10berkley worm and not getting crap, but my SI unit was showing bass everywhere. finnaly decided small fish are better than none and put on a 6 inch finess worm (floating tail) with a make shift carolina rig. 1/4oz weight about 2 ft from hook. made huge diffrence. however, you will catch lots of small fish this way, you just have to weed them out until you get a big one. hope this helps yall, i dont care to share since i have to work several days and miss some tournaments, im sure it will change by the time i get back on the water.
