Particularly in a tournament situation, anglers are torn between milking a spot or making a milk run. Do you "run & gun" high percentage spots looking to pick off 1 or 2 fish on each spot, or do you "sit & wait" on an area looking to catch all the fish (or even wait for new fish to move in)? Brandon Cobb believes that either approach could do well at any time of the year, but there are a number of factors to consider in different seasons that could be the difference between 1st place and 3rd place. Watch as Brandon Cobb breaks down each season and talks about what variables to consider when planning your tournament strategy of "rung & gun" VS "slow & methodical".
