What do you guys do when the two or three spots you found pre-fishing don't pan out on tournament day? For the sake of discussion, let's say you found a top-water bite pre-fishing that lasted until 8:30am. Tournament day you go to your first area and don't get bit right away. How long do you stay with topwater? How long do you stay in the first area before moving? How long do you stick to your plan before bailing out and trying other areas and techniques? Or do you stick to the same areas and try other techniques?
I've had just this problem in my last three competitions and not fared well in any of them.
