It all comes down to one final event!

It all comes down to this...its a close race in both the Rapala 5 and Drain the Lake! The question this week is how much does the lake play and will the weather allow anglers to unlock the smallmouth riches?

With only two tournaments remaining for the Bassmaster Elite series, our fantasy fishing points races are coming down to the wire. Lake Champlain offers multiple ways to catch fish and offers the chance to compete with both species. This event could lead to some dark horses showing out!

It's May on the Bassmaster Elite Series and that means we are getting into the post-spawn. Lay Lake is along the Coosa River so big spotted bass will play this week and as temps continue to rise there will be a shad spawn that makes some anglers look like heroes early in the morning. Current will also play a big role in this weeks event, and the anglers that play it right will capitalize in the afternoon. The big decision is, which locals do you choose and which low percentage guys do you pick to try and sneak ahead of the field?

After an explosion of fish catches on Lake Murray, the Bassmaster Elite Series rolls over to Santee Cooper where they are sure to bring some monster bass to the scales. Santee Cooper is a shallower lake than Murray and should be further along into the post-spawn phase. A lot of anglers will be in play as sight fishermen will be looking for the straggling spawners, shallow junk fishermen will be looking to capitalize on a shad spawn, and off-shore anglers will be looking to dial in the bass that spawned early in the year and have made an early move to their summer time haunts. Make sure you tune into Bassmaster Live to catch all the action starting April 27th!

I don't know if you have heard, but it's BASSMASTER CLASSIC WEEK! Boys and girls I think it is going to go off this weekend in Knoxville, TN and it is time to get those fantasy fishing picks in before the Classic anglers hit the water in the morning. Listen in as I talk about what I expect to go down on the TN River with the biggest championship in bass fishing on the line.

The Bassmaster Elite Series is pulling a back-to-back this week as they leave Okeechobee and head straight for Lake Seminole. Snyder and Dison sit down to talk about their dumpster fires from Okeechobee and discuss their picks for what is sure to be some great fishing this Thursday-Sunday. Be sure to get those picks in before Thursday!

It is time to get those picks in and fire up the fantasy fishing season! The elite series kicks off next week down in Florida on the famed Lake Okeechobee. Join me and Snyder as we talk about our pick and what we expect to see unfold.

This Saturday the TNCBA Classic qualifiers will be launching their boats into a rapidly changing Watauga Lake. Heavy rains last week and the first reel cold front of the Fall has left Watauga in flux. Anglers are sure to find certain sections of the lake much more productive than others, but which sections of the lake will hold the key to TNCBA Classic victory? Local Watauga hammer, Kevin Stevenson, and I sit down to briefly discuss the current conditions of Watauga Lake and discuss what we think will be the prevailing patterns on November 19th!
