Dan,
Heres the trick, when prefishing for bass in St.Clair if you get in a area that you know the bass are there but there also seems to be alot of muskies talk to some muskie fishermen, a couple days before the tournament give them the location to fish for the muskies and on tournament day you'll have less trouble with them. Did this a couple of times last year with a couple of guys that I work with and it worked great they caught 9 the evening before the tournament and the next day I never got bit off. And it seemed the bass were more aggressive.
