A few years ago i had some changes in my life.  i have always loved to fish sence i was little fishing with my parents and family.  I fished local creeks and streams for bass pike trout and salmon.  After a few years i was geting board of all that.  I desided to try to see what i could do to make fishing more exsitin.  So i joined a local bass club as a non-boater.  i thought i was going to do well because i use to cauth bass all the time by the numbers.  Well boy i was wrong,  there were presitation i never heard of  flipin and piching  drop shot  wacky rig lol.   so i learned thees methods over the past few years and caught on big time.  I loved it so much in 2010 i bought my oun bass boat a 2010 nitro z7.  i love the tour sein.  im working ,y way up to one day i hope to be compeating at he pro level.   This year im fishing 2 local clubs  the state federation  and the aba weekend series.   So the one bit of advise i have to someone who want to bass fish at the competive level give it a shot.  the guys in the clubs i fish in were awsome in showing me some of the tricks of the trade.  Not only am i a better angler but ive been on lakes that i never heard of seen parts of NYS that i never knew looked the way they do and made some awsome friendships along the way.
