I will give you all some info since i am not fishing that tourney or any tourney for that matter. Last time i was out there which was last weekend the water was sitting about twelve feet above summer pool with color in some places. Cast along creek channels and around structure in relatively shallow water. Throw jerkbaits and 3/4-1 ounce rattlebaits. The main lake is pretty clear but has been kind of murky the closer to beaver that you get. As far as bass go i couldnt tell ya. I never really focused on bass much on the Cave. I am always musky hunting. Hope this helps some!
When life hands you lemons, squeeze em in someones eyes and get your butt out of there!
