ABF pays better, You dont have to JOIN a club or get a magizine, the option money is better....

Dude, I don't want to sound like a jerk, but just go fish and quit worrying about the pay-outs. You have to have to finish in the money to worry about getting the money. If you're that good, and want to count your money before you fish, go fish BASS or FLW. They have great paybacks.

Hey JB

I have to worry about the money because I have to know what tourneys I can fit between the main ones I fish. You see JB thats what I do for a living. My fun fishing days have long gone by.The only fun ones that I had in the last year were two times with my wife and twice with new partners. I'll be tournament fishing for four months in the midwest and the south. So I'm trying to fill some holes while I'm in this area and it is all about the money, at least for me.But thanks for the advice and opinion.

[Guest]

Maybe you misunderstood my question... It was, what circuit do you fish for a living? Not, what tournaments have you fished in the past ten years? Hell, I fished the Water Dog Willy's derby and have a new boat, so I guess I'm a tour pro too.

 

[Delw]

J-b Dont forget roostertales to, that will add some big points for ya. :roll:


Darryl
yeah lets get specific since you brought it up. I did a search on only see one b.a.s.s. tourny you fished and that was in 2000, no money won in your profile in bass.

Now you got every one wondering, especially me :wink:

tourneys

I'm new to Az. I have just started fishing the western states when I was talking about Ca I was talking about the present and the 2004 season. I fished the snag proof tourney at the delta lost a voltage regulator so had to drop out in 2003. Fished 3 of the last tracy wildlife circut in 2003 took a 6th won one and I think a 8th We are in 4 th place overall now. The B.A.S.S. statement was in regards to what Jerk bait told me that you guys have B.A.S.S. opens here I think this year you had one in havasu.I didn't fish it but plan to attend some this year. I believe I fished 1 B.A.S.S. tourney 1998 forest lake MN a third place and 1999 pools 10 and 11 zone qualifier . I don't know why or where my listings are but I know I have a plack that says that, cause I made my wife go and dig it out. I really don't care for the B.A.S.S. circut because you have to fish a bunch of small ones before you can fish the big ones. That is why I don't fish them. I qualified for zone and didn't even fish it because of lack of money pay out. The ones I stated are circuts in the midwest and south I have fished these for years and will be fishing these next year 2004. I did little fishing in the 2003 season because I moved to Az and my wife and I purchased a couple of businesses and we had to get them up and running. The 2004 season I will be free almost all year so that is why I'll be fishing alot in the 04 season. I never said I'm a tour Pro. I said I fish for a living. I don't have to fish, I just love it !!!! I also have a craving for money and my wife says I have expensive tastes. I am not bragging but if your ever up on the mountain swing in I have a wall of trophys, maybe lucky maybe not. I know I pre fish alot more then anybody else. Average two weeks before any tourney that I fish. I did not bring this whole thing up. But I kinda feel I have to defend myself. I have mentioned several times that I'm stumbling in AZ. and trying to get any info I can about fishing in this state. If everybody is wondering about me..... take me fishing in your boat or mine .I would guess,at least to me that would tell me if I can fish or not. ONE EXCEPTION spooning I am brand new to it ,but want to learn it.
Toodles,
Darryl
