The Elite Anglers did not have a lot of time before the next stop on the Elite Tournament Trail. Going from Grand Lake in Oklahoma, the anglers now find themselves back in the South.

Here is the story from the practice sessions, where it seems that some anglers have found great patterns: http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/elite/news/story?page=b_tourn_Elite_Kent_Day1_gamer_AM

[The Fishing Coach]

This time of year Kentucky/Barkley fish completely definitely. Kentucky is all about ledges, deep ledges. I could find them, there are hundreds. Finding the right ones and then finding the fish on them, now that is the issue. On Barkley, the smallmouth are the way to go, but they move every day and sometimes every hour. That means you are constantly on the move.

Not my favorite time of year to fish those takes but definitely a great challenge.
