anybody ever fish the ABA??

[shakyheadsabol]

thought about joining the aba and fishing the va 102 division to gain experience and see new water. i cant find a partner to fish any team trails so i thought this looked good as i can fish by myself. i was just wondering your thoughts about this division.

i would probably be a non boater on gaston and kerr and be a boater on smith and phillpott, since i have never seen gaston or kerr.

thanks in advance for your advice

Sean, Mike Allen will be along in a bit to give you his experiences with the ABA. Mike qualified for and fished in the ABA National Championship last year.

Ive fished it off and on since about 1983 when it was the MBAA in Orlando, Fl. Its a very nice circuit!

I fished that district years ago, it is a good trail, well was then, sure it still is now. Never cared much for Philpott though, lol

District 102 has been going for about 6 years now and Elvin does a good job with it. The good thing with ABA is that there are so many tournaments nationwide. If you ever want to fish district 13 just give me a call as I am an assistant with them.

I used to fish the MBA years ago.It is a good trail but the paybacks are not very good.They hold back a lot of the money to go to the championship which could be a long way off.

Sean - You may also want to look at D11 in ABA too. All the tournaments are on the Potomac. It is the Maryland Division. A few of our anglers live in WV. The ABA is a good weekend trail.
