For me it comes down to not enjoying tourney fishing. I have limited free time. Back in the day I tourney fished. Took up lots of what few weekends I had. Tourney was usually scheduled and when time came I would have to fish a lake at a time when it was slow. Yet I knew other places where I could catch loads of fish. I am not competitive. Had several tourneys where the winner came from the back of my boat. I would be fighting the trolling motor and putting us in position to fish. They were just fishing. Came down to just having more fun fishing where I wanted when I wanted. Had one of the areas better fishermen tell me " If it's not a tourney, I just don't enjoy it." I thought that was dumb. My least enjoyable days were tourney days. I have enough pressure on my job. Why create more on days off. That guy has changed and now has moved more my way of thinking.
