Every professional bass angler’s tournament morning checklist is different, and it may be helpful to you to see how a NITRO boats Elite pro gets ready for a day of competitive fishing. Here’s a list of the top ten—but not all—items I check off the list before heading out to fish.
1. Caffeine (usually coffee)
2. Healthy, energy-packed breakfast
3. Make sure all batteries are fully charged on boat
4. Make sure gas and oil are completely full on boat
5. Launch boat 1 hour before takeoff to make sure everything is functioning properly
6. Organize fishing rods and pull out any rods I plan to use during the day
7. Make sure all hooks are sharp and fresh
8. Prep any extra hard bait boxes or soft bait bags I may use during the day and make them easily accessible
9. Organize cull tags, scale, and balance beam to be ready for fish management
10. Look at Garmin GPS & Sonar mapping and visualize the first run of the day
