Prefishing is more than just finding fish, at least for me. I will boat around
and I will also just move along with a trolling motor and look/learn. This is
huge on water I have never fished and I learn a lot about any lake this way.

If I do fish, I won't fish specific items, like a lone stump, but I will hit
certain bays, cuts, grassbeds, docks, etc. based on time if year, water
conditions etc. I'm looking for a fish here and there..either visually or
catching one. Usually after a day of prefishing, I will have some patterns or
areas that I can beat up during the tourney. Still, when I find 'em, I leave
'em alone until the tourney. I know some guys that will beat water up
prefishing because they were having fun catching so many fish and then they
only get a bite or two off the same spots the next day in the tourney.

I can't complain about my prefishing his year. It helped me boat keepers in
every tourney I was in this year and nail down the clubs 1st place slot.
