Look for areas adjacent to spawning grounds, which they'll be moving into. Look for vertical structure in the main lake with deep water nearby. You wouldn't fish shallow flats in February or March.

I know the biggest ones are caught early in the season. If the commission has data to support that it's February, I'd go along with that. Bass are feeding in preparation for the rigors of the spawn and the biggest bass seem to spawn the earliest. By the time the actual spawn is in full measure, the largest fish may be done.

Our blocking was phenomenal. Andrea Mitchell and Sarah Payne, my setters, also played with a lot of intensity.

I don?t think there are any coverage concerns. Everything looks to be relatively covered in this area. It?s more about capacity.

This event continues to be strong. This is one of the strongest fields in recent years. Ten or 15 years ago, the tournament drew more of the higher ranked teams. But there is so much depth in college tennis today. When teams are ranked in the top 50, they're good teams.
