Tournament Fishing

[FLbass1999]

Hey guys, I really need some help/advice on tournament fishing. I'm homeschooled so I can't do high school fishing, at least that I know of. Is anyone looking for another angler to fish with in tournaments? I have a ton of experience (again I'm homeschooled so I have plenty of time of my hands.) but I've bass fished since I was about 3 and I'm now 16, but I've been seriously fishing since I was about 8-9. So about 7-8 years of serious fishing experience (meaning not your usual fishing every few months). So anyways yeah let me know, comment if you wanna get in contact or have any advice. Thanks! -Garrett

I'm located in Jacksonville Florida btw.

Did a little research for you and it looks like you can join a school fishing team if you wanted. Personally, I would have loved to do that, but being from Washington DC not many kids were into fishing. Just have fun with it, be competitive, and learn as much as you can.

Take a look at American Bass Anglers tournament trail. I am in college, and I fish two divisions and love it. Im not sure where the closest division would be for you, but the format welcomes people like you and I. You can enter as a non-boater, and you will be paired up with a boater if you don't have a boat. It is an individual tournament, but its fairly cheap and I have learned so much fishing in the boat with many different types of anglers. You would be able to build relationships with the guys you fish with, and you may find a partner that way. It would be a good way to keep sharp and build your arsenal until you find that partner your looking for. Goodluck brotha, tight lines

There's probably a BFL division somewhere around you where you can join as a non-boater. Look into those.

This is becoming the norm. Call your local school district and see if they will allow you access. If not let me know, people hate getting calls from a lawyers office and I don't mind helping you in any way that I can.

Okay Cool.Thanks! I'll call my local schools.

Call the school district, not the individual schools. You are most likely going to need to speak to the superintendent of schools for your district.
