Hey all,

I am not saying I am going to move next year and fish the B.A.S.S and
FLW tours, but those are my goals. Currently I live in Neenah , WI, and
I figure as if I ever want to compete on a national level there is no
way I can have 5 months off while my lakes are under ice. Sure it gives
me a lot of time to read and watch videos, but I don't believe that
replaces on the water experience. I have talked with my wife and areas
that have popped up have been Florida, California (Southern, back to San
Diego), Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee , and possibly Georgia). I
would like to be located in an area where I would have access to the
national tournaments, but also have lakes I can fish year round that
would give me a diverse fishery where I can apply different skills.
Anything to help me make it.

I appreciate any and all input. Thanks in advance,

Chris
BTW - I expect you will have to start out at the BFL level and work up
to Everstart, then FLW, and in BASS start with the new state trails or
in the divisions and try to work up to the Tour. Don't think you can
just enter the bigger trails.
