I want to thank everyone for their input on this. Right now I am leaning twords doing the qualifiers and maybe some or all of the NW bass. I know I have a lot to learn and I am willing to put in the effort it takes. I have busted my butt to get where I am now. I know it will take paying some dues for a while. Gary(I mean Lisa) puts on a great series and I really want to do some of those.
Don, why did you choose the Fed Nation over the TBF?
Don Hogue said:It sounds like your next step would be the qualifiers. The team circuits such as NW Bass and ABA will depend on if you have a good partner to fish those events with.
I fished the BASS Fed Nation qualifiers in 2007 and had a great time. Being paired with a different partner each day causes you to learn a great deal in a short amount of time.
I was fortunate enough to qualify for the state team and fish the Western Divisional last May and then qualify to represent the state of Washington at the National Championship. The Washington State Federation paid my airfare (wife too)to fly back to Florida to compete in the BASS Fed Nation Championships. BASS paid for my hotel room, and provided me with a brand new Skeeter to fish out of for the Championship. Gas, lunch, ice were provided each day -3 days of practice and 3 days of competition. I didn't have to launch or pull the boat out of the water - they handled all of that. Any issues with the boat, electronics, or trolling motor were handled by service crews. BASS provided several first rate meals in the evening for me and my wife. It got to the point were I felt a little guilty, because all I was doing was going fishing for 6 days. I had the experience of a lifetime for next to nothing out of my pocket.

Thanks Willie,
I'm currently not affiliated with any club but I am very interested in spending next year as a non-boater and learning more from the guys in the BASS and FLW qualifiers. What steps do I need to take to make that happen?
