There are more than enough clubs with in an hour from me, maybe 6 or more. The local club has been pretty solid over the years. Personaly I'm not a big tournament guy, it's feels like work to me. I enjoy fishing without the work of being competitive. Now I do fish the year end open with the local club. Great guys and a super tournament. I probably might fish a few more opens next year but I just don't want to be tied down to one club or spending my weekends working. I mean I'm exhausted after fishing a tournament.
