Detroit River tournament is history!
It is over..we went there, we fished, we froze, we got wet...and couldn't get a single fish to bite! The water temperature was 36 and 38 degrees. We tried every method we could and after 4 days realized, it didn't matter how much skill we had. The only ones who got fish was not because of skill, but luck. If they just happened to drop it in the right place, they were able to connect. It was discouraging, and with the terrible weather it made it more depressing. On day two of the tournament we sat out in the river for over 4 hours in the rain and fog. The fog didn't lift enough to be able to fish safely, so the tournament was cancelled on day two. We are back home, all the wet clothes are dried out, and we are eager for our second tournament which is on the St. Clair river system. We are looking forward to that!! Because of the cold and rain I never got any pictures of Detroit River fishing, so will have to wait to see some fish pictures next month. Right now it is snowing like crazy and thundering. We had 2 inches of snow on Palm Sunday, and more snow is on the way for the rest of the week. Guess I will post snow pictures if I can't post fish pictures!...Michigan, gotta love it.
