Ive been lurking and soaking up knowledge for quiet a while but I rarely post so here goes.

Well I have decided to join a club(Ky River Bassmasters) so I can fish some tournaments and learn some stuff. I bought a boat last summer and had it on the water 6 times last year with very, very minimal success. I am a stream and river fisherman by heredity simply because my dad never owned a boat so we just sat on the river bank. Needless to say I am a bit out of my element and comfort zone on a lake. At any rate the first tournament is this saturday on Cumberland, puttin in at Jamestown. I havent the fogiest of a plan so anything, anything at all would be appreciated.
