I think you guy's are going to be in for a tough C4C! The wheather is not playing the game. The reports I hear is that the water varies between 12 and 16 degrees at Harties. To get the bass in position for spawn you need at least 18 degree water and a Full moon. The full moon is happening early September but the water temp is still to low.
This will more than likely confuse the bass and they might spawn late or not spawn at all. Difficult to predict what they will do. The moon phase will however push some fish into the shallows. I also see that we have another cold front on it's way on Wednesday, doesn't help much! The only advice I have is to get on the water as close as possible to the tournament and try and figure them out then.
Good luck

Thanks for the advise - we have been on the water this weekend and the water temp variers from 9 to 12 degrees - some shallow banks up to 14. We have seen thousands of carps milling around, but no BASS - No bites no activity. Saw some smaller fish species like kurper swimming below the surface in a total daze. You can pick the out of the water by hand - looks like they are doped.
Total confusion at this stage
