Hey Steve, I am taking the year off from fishing the Federation events and spending my time fishing the WRL with Kap Evans..If I were still doing the Federation I would jump in on your request..

Prefishing can be a double edged sword..Truthfully I don't know as it has all that many benefits..How often do we find the fish we want on practice day, but they just aren't around or inactive on game day..How many times do we find them using baits A and B, but on game day those baits are just about...
