How long do you stay in a certain area when tournament fishing? I've been fishing tournaments in northern Illinois for the past few years on a body of water I'm pretty familiar with. I have approx 15-20 spots that normally hold fish. My son and I are pretty consistant at finishing in the top 1/3 but never abel to get "in the money." I always wonder if I'm spending too much or too little time at each spot. Average fish on this lake system is 2-3 lbs with a 5lb being huge.
