Fishing after big tournament

[tnsportsman86]

I'm planning on coming down Mar. 25-26 (Mon. and Tue.). I just looked and the Costa will be there a few days before. How bad will this tournament hurt the fishing on Mon. and Tue.? My thoughts are there should be new fish moving up each day, but wanted to hear what others thought.

Go fish the release area LOL, seriously it will hurt it some but in the grand scheme it will be just like any other weekend of fishing on Chick, there are always tournaments there that even though in separate parts of the lake they will have the same number of boats as the Costa.

You'll be alright after then. Now if you were going in early May it'd be a different story.

Thanks guys

the fish are moving so much this time of year, you will opportunities at new fish every day

the guys at the classic are saying the fish are setting up to spawn already. Is that the case in Chick?

If you dont like fishing pressured water, this isnt the lake for you.

They'll be fishing staging, moving in, moving out, and every which way from now till June.

You will find fish on bed now through mid June. Prime time is May in my opinion but the way the water has been who knows. Like everyone else has mentioned big tournaments every weekend so it is hard to find unpressured fish.
