Cheo Carrillo Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Hi everyone! New to the forums I’ve been fishing all my life whenever and where ever I could; I live in the middle of the desert so this is a “rare” sport for the region. I was born, and I currently live at El Paso Texas which is border city with Ciudad Juarez where I studied all my life and lived as well. Recently took fishing more seriously, participated in a local tournament were I won the 3 prizes: biggest catch, most accumulated weight and most fish caught. This scored me an invitation to be in the state team representing Chihuahua State at the national championship, the top 5 places would represent Mexico in the world tournament. I finished 22nd from 134 teams I don’t own a boat, had to rent a basic small boat (engine 15 HP + Fiber glass (I think) boat+ paddles) no electronics, sonars, etc. about 5 teams had this same situation but none of the ranked better; and I used only 1 fishing rod. Fav bait: Plastics, Gary Yamamoto 7 inch Watermelon Black Flake Senko Rigged Texas style (weightless) Fav set up (rod/reel): Mitchell pro 300 Spinning reel with Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 spinning Rod (8-20-Pound Test), 7-Feet/Medium-Heavy Till know this is the only Rod and Reel I could afford but, I’m looking for 5 solid budget friendly bait casting sets. This site greatly influenced me about getting sponsors, and my techniques and strategies! Without the information i got from this site I wouldn’t even able to go! This is me at the tournament with my record catch: 4.4 lbs Quote

68camaro Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Welcome and great success story in tournament. I knew guy who started very successful business by renting equipment for one weekend with a lot of lumber and invited all big companies buyers to check out his "business", only once he signed a couple contracts did he buy the equipment and hire his first employee. 1 Quote

Thank you! That is a great story, Im looking to develop the borderplex (El Paso TX, Las Cruces, NM and Ciudad Juarez) in this sport I think it has great potential, its something very different from what we are used to. Potentially could be a business too there's nothing better than being pay to do what you love. Quote
