Im new to tourney fishing kinda.... I've gotten some checks as a co angler, i was going to get a boat this month but have decided to wait another year. I'm only 23 with a wife and son, and i don't wanna rush into this big tournament fishing, and i want to learn as much as possible, would like to fish the few costa series but thats way to much money to put in as a co angler and to kinda put my money into someone elses hands hoping to put us on some fish, (not that i can't find fish) their boat their rules. so ima fish ABA this year and debating on fishing southeast or central division ,further away SE has rayburn an toledo... and closer to me central has some decent lakes but none that i will most likely fish later in life... doubting the trails will put em on the schedule. share some light and maybe help me figure this out??

thanks in advanced

Where do you live? That should be a factor. There are several layers of the ABA and also some smaller districts. Your location should be a factor.

arlington. but the aba isn't much 100 a tourney , ill be fishing as a co angler so i won't have to worry about bring all my rods and tackle and i wouldn't have to bring my truck, so fuel wouldn't be much, only reason I'm leaning more on the SE division is because i toledo an rayburn are usually hosting the bigger tourneys
