What are some Bass tornaments a 13 yr old and his pa could fish in?
Most charity tourneys and local open tourneys are the team format where as long as kids fish with a parent or guardian it's ok. My 12 year old daughter has been fishing tourneys on Kissimmee for over a year now.

anybody a fisheries biologist?
Not for nothing, but, how many job opportunities will there be when you graduate? Do you particularly like spagetti o's and hamburger helper? Do you have a backup plan. I only ask these questions because 2 of my 3 roommates in college majored in marine biology only to find that a BS in MB qualifies you to make just over minimum wage if you can actually find a job. Nothing against what you want to do, in fact, it would be a dream job. BUT, make sure to protect yourself just in case.

Westpoint Lake HELP!!!
I have fished it about 10 times out of Highlands and Yellow Jacket but not since last Thanksgiving. At that time I was catching Spotted Bass on a Yellow Spinner bait fished shallow around balls of shad or a chrome/black rattle trap dragging over rock ledges. surveyor13 fishes all the time and would be your best bet for current info. Also you can get some info from here http://www.havefunfishing.com/fishingreports/sr_westpoint_lake_fishing_report.htm. Good Luck and let me know how you do. I'm going back this thanksgiving.

The Consitution is Illegal (True Story)
Do you own the walls that you posted your paper on? I would say no. And the people who do own the walls said you could not put it there. And now you are mad about it.

EXACTLY! You win, you are much smarter than me.

The Consitution is Illegal (True Story)
It was not your "little piece of paper" that was jumped on, it was the attitude behind it. Believe it or not, most adults are not as stupid as you might think, and your INTENT will get you in trouble many more times than your actions. Just a little piece of advice. Put your energy and efforts into something that is going to be meaningful to you in ten years. I assure you, this will not be. PS coucilor is actually spelled counselor.

Another comment from the old farts; As minors, you don't actually have "rights". Just wait until you have a job, rent, electricity, gas, insurance, and a host of other things to worry about. You will look back on this time of having your "rights" violated as the best times of your life.

tenoroc pits; lakeland, FL; need tips
Welcome to the Forum... Tenoroc is tricky. I have had 20+ days and zero's like last weekend. I fish lake B most and a firetiger crank or a speed craw has produced the most fish. 2 weeks ago a 10" ribbon tail worm produced a couple of fish. Use your electronics to find humps or points and fish them thoroughly. JayW is the resident expert on tenoroc so PM him if he does not respond here. Here is a link to the Ledgers fishing report, it is 4-5 days old but could give you some ideas. http://www.theledger.com/section/sports09

favorite fall fishing bait?
Frogs, frogs, and frogs. Nothing beats slinging a toad.

Using a jig with a 7" worm as a trailer?
I always have a blue/black chatter bait with a blue gambler crawdad tied on. I flip, pitch, slow roll, and burn it back to the boat. This combo has produced more BIG fish than any other in my boat by far including this one...... 8.61 lbs and got a big fish check from her.

Private vs. Public Lakes
I agree somewhat but I think you missed one. Private- I fish a few private lake that get less pressure than public and it is normally better than public. A recent trip produced two 5's and an 8 in 3 hours. Public - Your average public lake in Fl has limited access but is public and the fishing is somewhat more difficult. Tournament Waters - This is the tough one. The Harris Chain and Kissimmee Chain for example. These lake have multiple facilities that can handle several hundred boats and have multiple tournaments every weekend day. Overall, I feel like I have accomplished more if I catch 12 lbs on a tournament lake vs. 20 lbs on a private lake. But I still enjoy catching the fat girls on a private lake.

Cardboard shipping tubes, where to get one?
It is possible to crush pvc in two places, opposite directions. It seems that having two new graphite rod blanks inside somehow weakens the molecular structure of PVC. Thanks Fed Ex
