Hey everyone
I have been thinking a lot about fishing tournaments or with a club. I don't have anyone that I would consider fishing with as a team. I might do some of NBAA One-on-Ones in the metro Detroit area as a start into tournament fishing.
I want to put out there to the GLB members that I would be a willing partner for anyone that needs a someone to fish with, especially as a fill-in. I have a pretty flexible schedule with work, so I can do last minute. I am not sure I'm ready to commit to fishing a full series or anything like that. But I really want to learn more about tournament fishing.
A little about me. I live in Commerce Twp and I'm fortunate enough to live on a lake. I fish a lot, maybe 4 or 5 days a week (sometimes more if you count casting from my dock). I have a Stratos and would be willing to trailer my boat if it was needed. I started bass fishing about 5 years ago and I'm totally hooked (pun intended). I have certain techniques that I'm really comfortable with, though I'm ready willing and able to learn more, so I believe I could partner with someone is a lot of different situations. I have very limited experience on big water, almost all my fishing has been on inland lakes, though I hope that changes in 2011 and beyond.
I have talked/emailed with Dan several times about fishing tournaments and one of his recommendations was to post a message like this. We even fished together last summer and so Dan will be able to tell you that I'm an alright guy.
Throughout 2011, if any of you need a partner, shoot me a PM and I should be able to respond quickly. Most of my time on GLB is from my phone and I check it a lot.
I hope to hear from some/any of you throughout the 2011 fishing season. And please let me know if you have any tips on getting into fishing tournaments/clubs.
Thanks
Nick
