tourney co-anglers

[usngsm2]

I am a non-boater and fish tourney's every chance I can. Unfortunately I am usually fishing a new body of water and without prefishing it I am basically going in twice as blind. That bothers me alot, not being in the back of the boat but not prefishing the body of water that the tourney will be on. Is there anyone else who finds themselves in the same situation or am I the only one? I am Navy, so my schedule right now is very demanding and I have a tourney on lake Toho this month.
Depending on whom I am fishing with will dictate what I jump out the gate with however I intend to bring
1 c/b and s/b rod
1 c-rig rod
1 worm rod
1 topwater
1 flipping/frog
and maybe one spinning set up.
Any suggestions to help me in this upcoming event? I have heard that most of the time it's a c/b bite that wins but also topwater works well.
Depending on water clarity, which is usually clear in florida I will definitely try a trap but its the early morning bite thats really hard for me to figure out. What about you?
