That's why I'm fishing the tournament. Tough bite. I've only been doing this , this is my 5th year. Last two I only got to go out twice each year and first year I only got out a few and learn the basics. So I figure I got two good years of good ice fishing. I want the tough bite and figure out my way to catch fish in these conditions and pressure of a tournament is a good way to challenge myself. Two hour drive but looking forward to it. Plus I love fishing in the cold. As I say, I was born on a cold day in January. LMAO
