Is there anyone out the that knows of a bass club around the Northwest part of Missouri?? I live in St. Joseph, Missouri and would like to find a club within an hour drive or so.

Whenever I am not working or with the family I am fishing. I love to fish particularly bass fishing. I am 17 years of age and would consider myself a decent fisherman I have caught many 4-5lb bass over the past two summers. What I want to know is how can I enter the tournament scene? I have very little budget, no boat, and the only other people I fish with is my grandpa, and a few friends that can't fish to save their lives. Any help or tips on how to start fishing tournaments would be really appreciated! Thanks! -Cody Leslie

Any missouri fishers live close to St. Joseph?

Thanks everyone I've been looking at them and my mother said she had a $50 gift card to bass pro so I went ahead and ordered the Pro Qualifier!

I will spend no more than $200 for both and theres a cabelas and bass pro about 40 miles away and I can order online

Yea, honestly i prefer to go with quality so i'll shell out a little more if its recommended.

I was wanting to buy a new reel for bass fishing, I have been using cheap wal-mart ones I have a nice little pole that I use for crappie but it doesn't hold those bigger bass. I prefer bait caster's, Im on about a $100 budget. Any ideas??

St. Joseph if your not familiar with the area its about 50 miles from the KC area.

Hey! I'm a 17 year old from Missouri, I've been fishing since I was a little kid with my grandpa. This last summer I really got hooked on fishing and I plan to be out on the ponds, lakes, and rivers all summer long. I admit i'm not that great of a fisher but I don't have a lot of different experiences. So i'll be poking around here for tips and tricks!
