im 15 years old and i love bass fishing and i think im pretty good for a beginner and i would love to do it competitively but i have a few problems 1. I dont have my own boat 2. I have never done a tournament before 3. I dont even know how to try to find one If anyone could give me some guidance that would be awesome. I live in Massachusetts by the way so if anyone knows of some local leagues or shore fishing tournaments that would be great, or id love someone to bring me out on a tournament so i could get some experience.

Right now it's like$150 for a rod and reel... I can keep saving up or I could try to find a used one on here or ebay just message me if you find anything thanks so much for helping out

Wow that helps alot thank you. Would I have to buy a nice rod for it or would an ugly stick work?

I've never used a bait caster before but I have a little money and I'm thinking about getting one and it will most likely be a used one but is there any someone would recemened to start with?

Hey guys im 15 years old and from Massachusetts. Im pretty new to fishing. I used to fish a few years ago when my dad had a boat but i never really go into it but now that im older im really starting to get into it. I have been going almost everyday for about a month now and ive had some success shore fishing at my local ponds. One of my close friends does have a boat so we go out about once a week. So far my biggest large mouth has been a little over 2 pounds. I came across this site while watching a youtube video and it looks like a great place to learn some things. Also if anyone has any suplies they wanna sell or give away just let me know! im open to anything. thank you so much for reading this you definitely see me around the forum.
