Paul,I'm with you on the tube thing. Tony and I went out a couple nights ago and I had a better time than I had anticipated. Caught some but not a lot but it was a peaceful alternative to my usual bass techniques.Trolling will never be my thing but when wind and weather dictate at least it is an option.Next time I see you I will pick your brain a bit.
As for the tournament,it is getting tiring.It's not the cheating that bothers me as much as seeing what it does to friends and fishing partners.Fishing has always been a social pasttime and I have seen deception first hand this year.I can't imagine forsaking friendship for a hot bite but it happens.All for what?A trophy Iron Mike puked in!!!As in years past ,I joined this year to have a chance at a monthly which I suppose could still happen. But I have enough gear and the thought of making enemies for $10,000 is stomach turning for me. I haven't fished much for bass this year but I am really having fun with new species especially fluke.Now we have funny fish on the doorstep and I'll be chasing them around and wasting gas.Maybe we can meet up and chase them sometime. Make sure you give Slip a man hug for me.
