If prefishing is any indication, this year's Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship could be a struggle for many anglers.
The field of more than one hundred teams begin its hunt for this year's title Thursday.
Two-time champion James Lindner says part of the key to winning is figuring out what works and what doesn't.
"A lot of times you can fish right through a lot of fish and not catch them, "says Lindner. "and then change baits, get the right bait on, and it's like magic. That's part of the whole deal with these guys here just trying to find the art of angling. It's the weirdest thing in the world. It changes every year."
Devlin's Bill Godin, who's fished the tournament since its inception and enjoyed four top ten finishes along the way, says it could be a struggle to find the big ones this year.
"We've been doing a lot of prefishing and it's been tough for us," says Godin. "We can catch a lot of fish, but we can't figure out where the big ones are."
Anglers gather tonight for the official rules meeting.
