You don't need to belong to a club to fish open tournaments, but the club events are usually reserved for those that belong. A couple of nice April Potholes bass.

Have to admit though they are pretty fun.

I even put my name in the hat for two tournaments as an amature looking for a pro in California at Oreville & Clear Lake but no takers!

M_Ray maybe you would have better luck finding some one to take you out on there boat if you joined a club like the Puyallup Hawg Hunters.

I have a boat to get out and fish in but not suitable for tournament fishing ( no live wells or screamin motor to cover big water) I live right next to one of the best West side Bass lakes so getting out is not the issue tourney fishin is ... and I have fished in bass clubs contest's before but I'm more interested in the high intense tourney fishin. I got to fish in Michigan last year with a guy who Qualified twice for the Bass Master Calssic and it's a whole different ball game! going back this summer to fish with him again it was a blast and learned alot! here is a Michigan Bass as big as my nephew!
