Sounds fantastic to me, but I know nothing of tournament fishing. I wished I did, I would be beside ya. Let me check the dates of these tournaments and distance from my house that these lakes are. I have a Lowe Stinger 195 that is set up for spider rigging, pushing/pulling cranks, and solo polling. Also have a bimini top. I do not have a terrova, but do have a fortrex. Humminbird 859 and 899. I can contribute a boat as well if this works out for us. If you dont mind, and I am able to commit myself to it, would you be ok with fishing with an amatuer tournament partner? I have crappie fished my whole life, just not in tournaments.
