I am thinking about fishing the FLW tourney as a co-anlger in april on Sam Rayburn....this will basically be my first tournament....for a young fisherman who want to, at least, get a taste of tournament bass fishing before college, is this a relativley good idea?

Thanks

Yes you can learn just watching a good pro, some good some not so good. Best of luck !!!!!

Go out learn and have fun keep a positive attitude and you will do well

Fishin g an event like that is a great chance to learn. New techniques. Ways to approach a new lake and have a dang good time!

Heck maybe you will draw me

It will be a good idea if you are wanting to learn more about tournament fishing. As long as you go into it knowing you are not hiring a guide but will be fishing with a vetern pro that is trying to do all he can to win the tournament you will enjoy the day even if you do not catch a fish. There is a lot to learn when just starting out and fishing with these guys will give you the opportunity to learn a lot about fishing in a short time.
Also there is a BFL tournament the last weekend of February and as a co-angler in these events it only cost $100 to enter.
Good luck to you if you fish.

Its a great thing for you to do. And I give you a tid bit, Never fish exactly like you boater unless your fan casting a area. If your boater stays on the move as I do you want to change it up. and that tid bit will take you a long way

I don't think so. It's alot of money and you are gonna get front ended all day. I would think a much better value would be fishing a local tournament for $25 or so per time. You can go many more times,more conveniently,for the same money. Good luck with it.

If you can afford it go for it, the experience of just being there with all the exitement will be priceless and the anticipation and prep time prior will up your game .

Thanks guys...Along with school work, I have a decent job for a student, and not to many other expenses so I think I will give it a shot. If anything I want to at least do it once and make some decisions from there.

Again, Thanks for the help and tips!
