Saturday July 13, 2014 P.M. Tournament

There was a much better turnout for the night tournament. There was at least 41 tournament fishermen.

The key to this tournament for me was the draw. And for me, it was not good. I got to fish in the lower lake at Bailey's Carp Lake but it was crowded and the fishing was slow as expected.

This week was a poundage tournament (not the ideal time for a slow bite) but because of the speed of this tournament, I was only able to get one picture.

See the picture below for a fish that I caught around 1:30 a.m. This was well after the poundage part of the tournament was over.

I was able to pull four out of the water during the night tourney even though I only have one picture to show for it.

My biggest fish of the night was a 14.5 pound common carp (not pictured).

The weather turned out to be a non-factor but it was a great night for fishing.

Bailey's is having a $1000. per hour tournament on Saturday night, but the cost of the tourney is not going to afford me the opportunity to fish this one. I will be making a trip to either South Davidson Carp Lake or Darr's Carp Pond this weekend. I have struggled at both locations so I could be in for a  tough weekend. We will see.
