I hear ya. Finding a partner can be a challenge. I don't have a consistent partner. I have a couple of friends that go once-in-a-while. Both my adult sons will go, however they have a wife and kids, so there time/availability changes. My wife is a fair weather fishing partner, extremely fair weather. Like 70-75 degrees. Been plenty of tournaments I fish alone.
The biggest challenge for me is knowing when to leave a spot with fish to find a spot with fish. While the one I am on my have fish, if they aren't biting I'm not going to hang around all day waiting. Although I do wait too long in most cases.
Some of my restrictions is a 10hp motor. Some of the lakes we have tournaments on are hp restricted. I don't have a 10hp motor, yet. This spring that will change.
