Naw, a fun hobby and break from town. Though it would be kinda cool to do one as a non-boater just for something different/change of pace. Also on the spendy side. Between entry fees, club fees, this and thats betting I could do 3-4 fishing trips verse one tournament. I'd need a second job...
Winter/tough fishing months I get my tail handed to me. Many trips with zero catches. I usually give up and start chasing the Stripers then...
Really it is all about having a boat and being able to cover a decent amount of water. Any boat. Shore fishing on Lake Mead is TOUGH. Been there tried that over a couple year span. My average/usual trip out there covers about 40 miles worth of water. At least what my Humminbird says at the end of each trip which I reset at the launch each outing.
There is a a ton of people that do great out there. They just don't post about it or even mess with computers. I am on a PC a ton so why not... I don't mind sharing what little I know.
