If you already know the lake well, and considering how much you fish
currently, I wouldn't bother the fish with pre-fishing. You'll be on them
when the time comes. No sense in spooking them with what you might be using
in the tourney.

My two cents...

I have a buddy tourney this Saturday and will be pre-fishing a few hours
tomorrow a.m and Friday a.m. I did this tourney last year and we put up
with
the snickers and jeers of "Those Fancy Rigged Bass Boys" for riding in "My
Wife's bathtub" as they called it. We finished 7th out of 22 teams.

Question: I have not done too much prefishing for tourney's, On small
lakes
would it be better to just rig up without a hook to see what the bass are
going after without hooking them? Any pre-fishing I've ever done I always
hooked the fish, But with this lake being an electric only very small lake
I
am thinking otherwise. These may sound like stupid questions but I really
do
not know. I would love to place in this tourney on the same 9 foot 6 inch
bathtub that we took out last year with the cooler for a livewell. Any
suggestions? Idea's?
