Fishing tournaments???

I was thinking about fishing the bfl this year for the first time but theres not a division that I like. Hoosier division, patoka and monroe Ive never fished (no big deal) but is to far for 1st time on the lakes. Same with the mountain division two of the tournaments are in tennessee. Are there any other good options out there far as clubs or some other bfl style setting? Or would you just pick one division in the bfl and trust the boater and my own knowledge and fish? I would like some opinions from you anglers, please.(Im from the louisville area)

There's not a better way to learn those lakes than by signing up for the BFL as a co-angler. I would recommend that you pick whichever division you will most likely fish in the next few years and sign up. You will learn from your boaters - even if it's what not to do.
