Help!! Otisco bass tourny on 6/27

[ChenBassHead]

I have a tourny June 27th on Otisco, and I need some help. I've never fished this lake, and I'm looking for some help on where to find the bass. I won't get a chance to prefish, so ANY and ALL help will be appreciated! Thank You, very much, in advance.

The bass club I belong to (HawgHunters) is having one of our 2 Otisco tournies there on the 27th.

Zach- I'm a walleye guy so I won't be alot of help but......we get some bass at night fishing the 'eyes. Smallmouth & largemouth both to 22 1/2" long, prolly over 5 lbs with some regularity. We catch them at night (not on purpose) on stickbaits fished shallow-mimicking the alewives that are spawning in the shallows at night. There is a large shallow southern end of the lake-weedy with alot of shoreline structure-fallen trees etc-& a few small streams entering- as I said- I'm not a bass guy but I'm sure theres largemouth there-small mouth thruout the main lake. Also alot of weedbeds & good fishing at the north end by the dam & just out into the main lake from the "narrows" just south of the dam. Good Luck!  Tom
