The males have already moved up to fan out their beds. The females are moving in and I expect them to be on bed between this weekend and next as the moon begins to fill in. I caught three 4-5lb class females yesterday morning on green pumpkin terminator jigs with a bama bug rocket craw trailer. They were in 2-3ft of water on isolated brush/stumps.

The spotted bass are begining to move up to their spawning areas as well but they are a little behind the largemouth. I've been catching 2-3lb fish in 8-12 feet of water on hard bottoms where small pebbles/rocks transition off of larger rock near secondary points.

Good luck everyeone!

What will the pressure of the bass tournament tomorrow bring to bear on our abiltiy to catch fish when they are done and gone?

My  guess is there is enough for everyone but I am interested in your opinion.

The bass will find places to spawn where nobody will think to look.  There are often beds in a corner of our slough, and most fishermen tend to fish point to point and skip everything in between.  They don't bother with the bare flat where you would be lucky to catch a small bluegill most of the year.  Besides, since Martin is a spot lake, most of the bass are spawning in deeper water, like on the secondary point everyone skips going from one point to the next.  They also pound the banks when the spotted bass are behind them in deeper water gettin' it on undisturbed.
