Join a collegiate club. If you're at Purdue or IU both have excellent clubs. If you're not then start one! I am sure there are others at whatever university you attend who are into fishin...

If you are looking to fish a team trail with your dad, I'd suggest Angler's Choice, USA Bassin, Fishers of Men. If you are looking to get in fishing seriously and have desires to become a boater, I would highly suggest you give the BFL a try as a co-angler. It's a great format to learn the lakes here and how to approach them. Plus, you don't have to have a boat. Just show up and fish. But if you do, make sure you do your homework. There are plenty of articles on Flwoutdoors.com to research co-anglers and the etiquette that goes along with it. There is also a column on Bassfan.com about co-anglers. Good luck.

Do you have a boat or someone you plan on fishing with? If you have someone there are some good Team tournaments with low membership fees.

Jamison, a few years ago I helped with a college club event on Morse and I thought Wabash had a bass club that participated. If so, that's a great place to start. I would be willing to take you out with me - I fish the Wal-Mart BFL's and live near Geist where I practice often. If you would like to fish with me sometime, feel free to shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]. I'm more than willing to help you get started.

We have a 96 ranger bass boat. I might fish with my dad. Yeah I actually fished in that tournament on Geist with a Purdue student, I was still in High School. Wabash's team is extremely inactive. We never did anything the first semester. I decided to pass on the club and try to find something else to fish in. I bass fish a lot down in Florida. We have a place on the Harris Chain. What is the BFL tour like.
