Jeff and I signed up to fish the Perch Jerk on Murray put on by Lake World. We pre-fished 3 days prior trying to find biting fish. We came up dry each trip catching only a few each time.
We were on the water at 7 this morning and finally got into some fish. It was short lived but we had 30 or so by 10 o'clock.
You could weigh 50 fish so we felt we had a long way to go. We fished hard until 2:30 and came out to meet the weigh in which was given as 2:30 until 3:30.
We pulled into the parking lot only to be told they had already done the weigh in because they didn't think anyone else was coming.
What made that hard to take was our catch would have finished 3rd.
As hard as we worked in 90 degree heat, to say we were disappointed is quite the understatement.
First place was $500, I don't know what 3rd would have been, but it was frustrating to put that much effort forth and end up like this.
