Never been BASS fishing on a boat. Anyone around the Brandon, Fl area looking for a fishing partner?

Anyone!!??

You may have better luck posting this in the Southeast section of the forum.

I have never fished from a boat either....

Anyone in the Jacksonville area have a boat and looking for someone to fish with? I fish every day and I am down for whatever time wherever there are BIG fish

Unfortunatly, the way the world is now, it's hard to just take someone fishing with you, that you barely know.

_{Go to a few local marinas, boat dealers or bait shops. Sometimes there are local tournaments held that they may know where someone may need a co-angler. At a local lake here, a couple guys hang out on tournament day with their gear and $ to help the cost. They ususally get on a boat with someone on the team tournament ones.}

_{Doesn't hurt to ask.}

I take guys I've never met out all the time, including some members here.

It would be tough to have a guide business if I did not take out strangers. Most of my friends are broke.

I generally have an open seat many weekends. Heck, you come up with half the entry fee, I'll find an open to fish, I'd you want to do a tx.

@ fishingdaddy- let me know when. U go to Lakeland all the time. If u wanna go this weekend I'm ready!!

My thoughts are you should join a local B.A.S.S. afiliated club. The club members get to meet you and have the option to vote you in or not. You will get to fish in club tournaments as a nonboater a couple days a month. You'll get to fish with different boaters each month make new friends and learn a lot of new things. But you wiil have to be a BASS member, Bass Federation Member and pay club dues and split gas expenses with the boater you draw each month. Anyway thats what I'd do if I didn't have a boat and wanted to fish!!

^^^ I agree^^^

When I had my boats in Michigan I took many people fishing that I barely knew, just bring your lunch, I never charged for gas, I was going anyway.

Getting mugged in the middle of Lake St Clair was never a thought...........and it never happened.

Thnx for the advice people!! I guess I'm gonna have to look into joining one of these clubs! Pay a few extra bucks to catch sum big bass? Nothing wrong with that!!!
