My fishing buddy and I have decided to start hitting tournaments consistantly next year. I have a 16.5' Legend with a 50 on the back and some decent gear (nothing fancy or expensive).
I'm curious what exactly I would require for bigger tourneys. Would I need to drop some money on some really good gear? Is there a minimum HP for some tourneys? Do I need sponsors? Are there a lot of tourney guys that don't run bass boats? Where is a good place to start?
I'm hoping to not have to drop a lot of cash for anything because I know the entry fees are pretty high already and the kids still want to eat.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
