Critique my tournament plan for sunday

[fishingprodigy]

Hey guys, I'll be fishing my fourth tournament as a co-angler on Sunday at the Northeast River in North East Maryland. I've done okay in my last three tournaments but I really want to try to earn a check in my next one. I know it's possible because another co-angler has won two tournaments and received a check for big bass in the last tournament I was entered in.

Anyways, the water temp is 76 right now, but I expect the water to rise to as high as 80 by Sunday with the incoming heat wave, the high tomorrow is expected to be over 100. We launch at 5:45 am, and I expect my boater to either fish the docks 100 yards from the marina, or take us to a grassy flat in which case we'd probably fish the weedline. If we start at the docks, I plan to fish a drop-shot right up against the posts, and if we fish the weedline, I'll be starting with either a quarter ounce popper or a zara spook type bait.

Once the sun starts coming up, I am almost certain we'll be fishing an area with weeds. If the area is choked, I'll start with a frog over the weeds then proceed to pitching a beaver style bait pegged with an appropriate weight.

Let me know what you guys think of my plan, I would love to earn my first check ever in a tournament!
