anyone that fishes marina's all day during a tourney r weak. like enosey said, that's not fishing, that's fishing for c&r fish. it's weak if u can't catch fish that u have to spend all day in the marina where a 50+ boat tourny released 200+ legal sized fish. that's like fishing in a hatchery. no rules prohibiting where they can't fish but come on, that's just pathetic, especially in a marina that is basically closed off except for the navigation channel. if u're good, u'll catch ur fish out there, not in a marina that's basically stocked by a previous tourny.
jason, they said that bcuz last yr 3 hbc teams fished the marina all day. even still, with 200+ legal size fish in there, they didn't win.
there was a 50+ boat tourny the wknd b4, so they were trying to catch those released fish. competition is getting tough so people r resorting to the easy way out without having to work for it. if u can find the fish out there(aka khang bros), marina's don't stand a chance. my best advice is explore pepin/pool 4 more, there's plenty of winning spots out there. every yr, our prefish weight comes in at 20-24lbs. but fish don't always stay put or it gets pounded by prefishers so they're gone, but find a lot of spots n u will have more choices if one spot doesn't produce.
