A new year A new season

My clubs tournament season starts Saturday on a Power plant lake that has been a lot slower than i've ever seen the bite. The reports i've heard of are not all that impressive. its in New Mexico the temp is gunna be 5 degr. that morning, which i really don't mind it's just that i haven't found that special something that is going to get me a limit yet. What has worked before just aint workin. Maybe a sugestion or two that i might try would be welcomed. i need to keep the points up some how. i've never went out seeking any outside help, but hey you never know.
