Did about 4 years, and even though my boy and I won 1 and placed a couple times, finally stood outside the box and realized that the main reason we fished ,had disappeared. Instead of laughing or doing "the dance" we were actually getting pis#$# when we would lose a fish. Much happier now.A buck for the first fish is as far as it goes now !

Status: offline 		If you are into bass fishing then go to www.pabass.com and click on the district 6 page under the districts ( northwest pa) if that is where you are interested in fishing. On that page you will find a list of contacts and they can give you the info on clubs to join in your area. Start small with the club tournaments, and if you like them then move up to the districts, regionals, states, and other circuits.

Status: offline 		Get in the game and dont let any negaitve people distract you from your ambitions. Obviously tournament angling isnt for everybody, but some people are awesome at it. Get out there and try it. Whats the worst thing that could happen. Maybe you wont come in first place. Check out PI Bass. They have a bunch of local tournaments so its a great place to get your feet wet. Good luck.

We allow guests to come and fish 3 club tournaments so you can see what tournament angling is about.

Feel free to drop me a PM if interested.

Btw, as mentioned, PIB is a good club also.
