i like to bass fish all the time. i decided i would get more involved and start fishing tournys. the problem is i dont know how to start. like wwhere do i go to sign up? (if it helps i live in central, florida)

Start by looking for a local club in the area.  By joining a club you can learn alot and meet new people.  You can find alot of tournaments in your area on the web.  One place you can start is on the ABA website.  I know they have touraments in your area the toho district is division 23 and the director is Craig Maxwell.  In central Florida your going to have a number of choices.

You can also try FLW outdoors.  Start in the BFL tourneys.  I fished these in the NE a few years ago and had a good time.  You can fish as a boater or co-angler.  Good place to start.
