THE BASS COLLEGE

Anyone been out recently on Gaston?  I have a tournament there next Friday/Saturday and will be going up Wed. night to prefish Thursday.  We launch out of the back of Pea Hill at the Lake Gaston Resort.  Two years ago I finished second on this lake by burning shallow cranks in 3-5 feet of water and carolina rigging secondary points in Pea Hill.  Last year I couldn't get a bite on a crankbait and the carolina rig bite was hot in practice and completely died on tournament day, I ended up with 2 fish each day mostly caught on slider head worms skipped under docks although I did find some bass starting to bed but they were not locked on.

The weather has been nice up there for the past two weeks and looks to stay nice.  I am thinking they will be on beds.  Has anyone been out there recently?  If I am looking for prespawn fish would I be better off fishing the southern creeks (which I have never fished)?  Are there any other creeks besides Pea Hill and Lizard that I should be hitting?  Any info would be appreciated.

working on it i have a friend who fishes it marc

Unfortunately the lower unit replacement on my boat has been delayed so I won't be going to Gaston after all.
