I was at my spot to start fishing at 5:10a.m. First fish at 5:30. Eighth fish at 7:30. All nice fish, all on top water. Thirteen for the morning until 10:30. Didn't see my first tournament boat until around 7:15. By the time there were 6-7 boats in that creek, it was 8:00, bright, sunny and hot. They all had their spinning gear and small craws trying to coax bites on the grass edge. This is not a knock against tournaments or the participants but, I would rather be fishing when the bite is hot and catching fish then in a crowd trying to scratch out a limit. It just doesn't look like fun.
