Anybody tired of tournaments?
Message:
Just curious if I'm among the minority or what? I was looking at the state tournament schedule for this year and there are lots and lots of them. At Candlewood where I fish, it's just about every weekend all summer long. My issue is I get there at 6am to launch and there are 30 boats in the lot waiting to launch for a tournament. Unless I get there about 5am I can forget about it. I'm not in the tournaments, I just want to fish for a few hours. I know there has to be some good ol boys like me just out to fish a few hours?

I see no need to be part of a club and do tournaments every weekend. I do however like to do tournaments once and a while. I like to do a few a year. I will usually look at the schedule of tournaments and look for a lake that doesn't have anything scheduled.

I was on another forum and there was a whole lot of guys in my predicament. You get to the launch and there are 30 boats there for a tournament waiting to launch and I have to sit there for a couple hours and they won't let me just launch and go. Some of the out of state guys seem to have attitudes. I guess I'll have to take some days to go during the week this year as there are a whole lot of tournaments.
