This is taken a bit out of context, but worth reading the entire article. If you don't subscribe to BassWest USA mag, you should.
Eaker believes that part of this change is due to technology and part due to networking. "GPS has changed BASS completely." Prior to tournament cut offs, when BASS pros are no longer allowed to tap into insider information, they can discuss lake hotspots with local pros and guides. Armed with several waypoints, they're able to quickly find and evaluate structure that in the past would have taken days, if not weeks, to find. "All you got to do is call your local buddy and get the GPS readings and your're on 'em." And let's be clear -Eaker isn't complaining, just stating a fact of tournament life. The other side of the coin is that if you're new to the tour and don't have those local contacts, you're at a decided disadvantage.
