I have no idea what type of club your fishing in haha. Fish with a club that fishes local lakes, offer the boater gas money (amount pending on the body of water), and find a club that just does fun tournaments. Usually only 30-40 dollars. Manageable for most teens i'd say...

Also for heavier line you'll want to upgrade to a Baitcaster. Preferably 6:41 for spinnerbaits.

Fish as a co-angler. It will cost you almost nothing!

Stike King Red Eye Shad, Bill Lewis, and Cotton Cordell.

I would suggest fishing deeper water. After the spawn and into the post spawn the fish tend to move deeper. But that isn't to say you won't catch them by the bank.
