BFL, Should I fish?

[Brian Feist]

After twenty-two years of working, I finally got a M/F day job with weekends and holidays off. It's still a little of a shock and I'll still keep my part-time job but I won't have to do night shifts on a regular basis. Now the question...



I've been fishing for bass in a club for about three years now. I've learned a lot from reading and fishing with friends since I got serious about bass. I have a friend that has been fishing the BFL for about three years and has done quite well. He says it's a great learning experience and he is telling me that I should make some trips with him this year since I'll have the time and schedule to do so. While he thinks that I have the knowledge and skill to start fishing in these bigger tournaments, I'm not so sure. I like to travel, fish in new places, and enjoy fishing. I've never fished with anyone that ended up being a bad experience (personality wise). So, what I am asking is this. Can I go and fish in these tournaments, gain knowledge and have a good time with what I perceive is limited fishing ability on my part. I have noticed that spending more time on the lake rather than at work has mad me a better fisherman. I hope to spend a great deal more time on the water starting this year. Is the BFL a good investment to make me a beter fisherman?



Thanks...



Brian

You learn every time you want to with someone new in the boat. I have learned from my co-anglers. Especially on new water. You will learn new baits, boat handling etc. The BFL's are inexpensive enough, especially for the non boater that if you are seriously interested in pursuing some tourneys, then I would say you can't go wrong. Come fish the Champlain one, perhaps we could paired up! If not, there's still Mike O, Jim (Bassinfool) and a few others fishing it, that you might get paired with. How cool would that be!
