Muncie area tournaments

[esoxangler]

I typically try not to put down a club but I would stay away from Muncie Bass Anglers. I fished an open tournament with them this year and supposedly, we were having a meeting at 7am before takeoff, well they blasted off before 6:45. No meeting, nothing. After the weigh-in, when I confronted what I believe to be the director, I was given some stupid answer as to why they left early and a dumber reason as to why they couldn't let everyone know. Sounded to me like they didn't want anyone taking their money.
Obviously, I will never fish another tournament with them again and I hope that if you do join their club, you show respect to the non-members who fish the opens

Prarie Creek a "dead sea"?

Sure it might not be a factory like Geist or Morse, but it is far from being "dead".

I have been on that lake 4 times in my life. All of them in June, July or August and caught a limit of decent bass everytime. If I lived closer I would fish those tournaments they have and concentrate on the two cuts under the bridges until about a half hour before dark. Then I would move to the shallow grassy end and throw buzzbaits until dark, got two over 5 that way.

Ummm...of those four times? when was the fourth one? I know every inch of that place and can't barely catch a bass anymore, even in May, the easiest time of the year. I can tell/show you where all the humps, road bed, brush piles, drop offs, flats. I know that place used to be good but the last 2-3 years is terrible. I saw the biggest smallmouth I've personally seen in my life floating, barely alive last year...I almost cried.
