It's been crazy watching the elite series guys prepare for the 1st elite tournament of the year in Orange, TX. There are no boundaries for the tournament, so the bayou that I live on is in play and there's been a significant amount of the guys coming through. Have been able to snap several pics from the back porch.
I grew up fishing on this bayou and I stay on fish most of the year usually, so it's been interesting talking to a few of these guys. It's amazing how much local knowledge they rely on and seek out. I don't know how a few of them got my contact info.
This morning a few of the guys got lost and ended up on our road while my wife was driving out. She stopped and asked them if they wanted to follow her to the boat ramp! LOL
Anyway,,,,if you can plan to,,,,definitely want to watch this one of television or follow how it turns out. This area is largely a coastal marsh system area where you can find large numbers of bass, but it's very tough to catch any size. You will see guys making very short runs,,,,and you'll see guys making insane runs to seriously remote area. Should be great for TV. Plus, you're going to see a lot of these guys take a serious butt whoopin. The fishing will be heavily dependent on weather conditions, as rain just tears up most all the bayous and rivers.
I can tell you that I've been on spawning fish for 3 weeks now, so the spawn will be over by the time Mid March rolls around,,,,,,at least on my bayou.
Here's a few pics
