Future Tournament Junkie

This happens to me a lot. If I'm bank fishing a haul one in, there is almost always a boat coming at me from a little ways down. My little 2 man boat (can fit in the back of my truck) isn't very intimidating, but I don't waver in my plan if we were there first. Pretend like you don't see, and fish right towards 'em. If you have no etiquette, you might see a little boat coming at you (all 40 lbs of thrust my motor can provide).

Alrighty I'll get right to it: I'm interested in trying some new techniques, after all- the best anglers can catch 'em when times are tough and during differing conditions. So, my question to you is this: What is your GO-TO TECHNIQUE? Also what are the best conditions for this technique? I'm eager to see these responses! Let's get to it! Aaron

I'm not from Florida, but could the possibility exist that the Hurricane has something to do with it? Those massive weather systems can do some crazy stuff.

Hi guys and gals. I'm 16 years old from eastern Kansas. I have been fishing for 15 years, my father having a huge influence on me. He was and is an amazing fisherman. He has won big bucks at tournaments, as well as my uncle. My uncle fished on the Red Man Tournament Trail and was at one time in the top ten in the nation! We have fished tournaments together, and I'm sort of coming into my own in the world of bass fishing. Their go-to techniques are kind of difficult to use, and I'm learning. I have some go-to techniques as well, and am here to learn new stuff to show them up! This fall and winter I hope to make enough money to purchase about a 1500$ boat, a legitimate one. Craigslist is where I have been looking lately, suggestions are open! It has to run well and be in decent condition, I'm always willing to put in some elbow grease though. I'm here with an open mind, can't wait to see what I can get out of here. See you out there! Aaron
