Empty Lake Powers 8/24
Message:
We had our 10th tourney at Powers on Sunday. 3 BOATS SHOWED UP very disappointed. Sunny with scattered clouds. Water temps in the mid-high 70's TOUGH DAY Every fish in the lake was in the middle there was nothing along the edges. Jim and Alex had a beautiful bag 5 fish 12-13. including a 22.5 inch 5lb 6oz monster myself and John 2 fish 2-14 both caught in the last half hour Mike and Mike 1 fish 1-13 Istill can't believe that there was no fish under the lilys or under any of the overhanging branches. Scratch this off next years list

Congrats to Jim and Alex, well done! John, I think we need to make a new rule. Common courtesy, if you don't plan on fishing an event, or something comes up, you need to call the tournament director at least the night before the tourney, to let them know your not going to show up. This is a perfect example, 3 boats showed up for what, to win $50 to split. That doesn't even pay for gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can talk about this at the next tourney, or at the meeting in November. For the record, I had tow vehicle and severe poison ivy issues.

Thats why in our club we have everyone pay for all of the tourneys up front at the beginning of the year. This way if everyone stays home and you only have two boats fishing you are not winning $25. The payout stays the same and gives people more insentive to fish since they already paid. Just something to consider for your trail next year.
