The BLF division

So, I started in a club I few weeks ago and I hear A LOT of guys say they fish the BLF divisions in the FLW. So, I stared doing some research on it. I really want to learn as much as I possibly can so I can, hopefully, one day fish in the FLW or in the Elite division of the BASS. I'm 26, married, and have 2 boys. Who also likes to fish   right now so I'm trying to figure out what I need to do that would be the best route. As it is right now, I don't have the tournament experience or knowledge to drop $5-800 on entry fees and could not justify that to my wife lol.. I still yet to have a boat... But we are working on that. Helps when u have 2 boys asking for one too lol.  Luckily, my club is a federation to BASS so that means if I get so many points as a non boater, I can still qualify for state and regional tournaments. I really want to learn from good guys and pros. I have a few guys that said they would help me out after April. But I would like to fish other tournaments to outside my club. I'm just trying to figure out the best route to go.. Obveusly, I need to get on the water as much as I can. But it's also hard to do when u have to depend on others in order to get on the water... It's frustrating when u want something really bad and u can't get it yet. Lol.
