Hello, I live in south west Iowa, I would like to participate in tournaments. How can I find some tournaments near me that aren't online. Or aren't the KAYAK WARS!!!

I'd start by calling some of the POC's listed here. Good Luck!

Go to your local tackle shop and see if they have any fliers for upcoming tournaments.   Also, talk to the workers there, they probably know.
