Tournaments are 8 hours in length. On Friday and Saturday, there are two tournaments each day. I mentioned quite a bit about the first tournament on Saturday at Bailey's Carp Lake but I did not mention much about the evening tournament.
Basically, I did not catch a fish in the entire 8 hour session. There were 52 other participants in this tournament. Generally, this many people will always slow the fishing down.
Through no fault of anyone or anything, the fish just did not bite where I was fishing. As a matter of fact, there was only 3 fish in the whole section where I was at. That is normal. So many times people will say bad things about a lake or the way it is run. No. This was just the way it goes. You do not always win and you do not always catch fish.
That keeps it interesting. If you caught big fish and a lot of fish every time you went, you would get burned out fast. After all, what is the fun in that?
The weather was great and the fishing was slow. But, overall, it was an enjoyable fishing trip.
I ended up with 3 bites all night and I just could not hook the fish.
I know the feeling of not catching fish when they are not biting. It can be discouraging at times. It happens though. The days of not catching fish make the days of catching fish even better.
