My first time to launch at Sullivans never even been near that part of the lake / river so we ran down to Marion County park at blastoff. I had no idea 500 boats would be sitting in the no wake area getting ready to blast off for thier tournament. I just idled through them and waived. There were 3 boats already in the area we wanted to fish and when the other tournament blasted off we had 11 boats all within shouting distance.</p>

We still managed to catch a lot of fish but most were about a quarter inch too short. We got a limit and started looking around to upgrade but the bite went stone cold. Not a single bite after 11:30. We fished back up river all the way past Racoon mountain with nothing to show for it.</p>

Weighed our 3 little fish and and went home. </p>

Always a good day just to be able to be on the water. </p>

Hope we didn't crowd you. I tried to get over in the corner away from the others but before I could work my way to the corner another boat came in between us and the rip rap and the guy caught a 3lber on his first cast. They went up and down that bank and got a 5 fish limit.</p>

No you was fine. We was all good a two more boats came in look like younger boys. They was like 25 feet at the back of the boat an then got in front of us. That’s when we left.
