Well then... That's a horse of a different color! :-)

As I see it, pre-fishing can be done, but I wouldn't load the boat like you
might in a normal day of fishing. If you decide to fish, just don't hammer a
spot after you catch one. Move on. Maybe try the pattern on one additional
similar spot, then move on to another bait and presentation and see if you
catch more. I have pre-fished with Brad Coovert, from the group, before,
and he is really good at not molesting his fish, once he's found them. It
can be hard to resist that temptation!!!

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

in the tourney.

My two cents...

I know this is on a lake he rarely fishes. He likely would like to get
out and see if his current techniques will work. The makeup of the
lake the tournament is on is significantly different from where he
fishes daily. Also, the lake the tournament is on recieves a TON of
tournament pressure as opposed to his comparatively un-fished home
lake. The fishking clique is pretty much the only pressure on his home
lake.
