What i did the last tourney i fished, was mark all the beds or at least the ones that had decent fish on them, with my hand held GPS. On the day of the tourney i just went from waypoint to waypoint tryin to hit as many as possible. See i didnt get really any time to pre-fish i had enough time to get lucky and find a few early spawners that had some weight on them. But i think had i had time i'd have cut the hook and atleast feel a fish. Dave
