Dangerous having tournaments at various lakes all over the state that anglers don’t know well. Knowing most are going to be wide open when the tournament starts either way. Got a buddy that captains for his son that destroyed 2 props in 2024 fishing lakes he didn’t know well.
it isn't just when the tournament starts, it's the practice time too. Those folks are moving on Lake Martin, now Martin does do a pretty good job of marking buoys, but you better have good eyesight to see them running as fast as those guys run.
All of the rules of speed near docks, etc. are out the window with those guys/gals, they may ease through a slough fishing, once they are ready to roll, they will blow up a slough/swim area with the best of NASCAR.
