[#0000FF]A great example of someone setting up a tournament and not knowing ANYTHING about the lake, the fish or the conditions. I got a call early on the morning of the tournament from a BFTer who told me that they had changed the tournament from Rabbit Gulch to the area out off the state park. I couldn't believe it. It is absolutely the worst possible place they could pick for anglers to have any chance at success.
Starvation is definitely a "90/10" lake...with 90 percent of the fish being in only 10 percent of the lake. And that changes from year to year and week to week depending on lake level, food supplies and other factors. Knowledgeable ice anglers on Starvy NEVER fish the area of that tournament...because there are almost never any fish holding there. They might as well have been fishing in a chlorinated swimming pool.
I'm guessing they will have a tough time getting enough interest next year to even be able to have a tournament.
