B.A.S.S. is supposed to release the schedule for the weekend tourneys, designed to compete with the BFL, this January. If the schedule is similar and entrys are similar? Which one will everyone fish? I am still undecided, I am really disappointed with next years "detroit river" schedule for the BFL, I really think I would try the B.A.S.S trail.

It would be cool to fish both, but who has that kinda time ( and money ) i would be fishing the BASS tourneys now because i am going to work for a triton boat dealer and will be on there 'pro' team. i am sure we will be fishing these tournaments along with some others. but i am not 100% sure yet. but i think the guys with the tritons will fish the BASS for the triton gold money and the Ranger guys will be fishing the BFLs for the Ranger cup money. it makes sense, but you never know. with all the negative talk i have heard this year involving the BFL i wouldnt be surprised if BASS comes in and completly takes over. it will be interesting to see what everyone does.

Are you going to work for them or going to promote for them on a "pro-staff"

from what they are telling me i will be doing both. i went there looking for a part time job getting my feet wet in boat sales. but they said they need a bass guy on there pro staff as well. and told me that they will partner me up with someone to fish tournaments. cant beat that. what i am really looking for here is boat sales expereince but will not pass up the chance to fish as a staffer. we will see what happens.

being that i have never sold boats, i will need all the help i can get. i do have a few things going for me. i have a love for boating/fishing that i think is pretty obvious. people can tell than i am involved since its all i talk about. i am a very honest person. i am not pursuing boat sales to make a ton of cash. hell, i dont even know if you can really make a ton of cash. i would imagine, but dont care. it is something that i have always wanted to do so i am doing it for the satisfaction of doing it, and working shows. i love working shows. but regardless, i am not in it for the money so i should be able to get people into boats a bit cheaper, as long as the bosses are making money it should be ok. i have only sold car washes, submarine sadwiches, and steel plate burnouts in the past. but i was pretty good at it. i even broke every sales record for forsters car wash ( 11 locations total around oakland county ) and we were one of the smallest ones. the owner came down to see me and gave me a cash bonus cuz i was the man. so, i think i have a knack with people. i am really hoping this all works out. i have been trying to get into selling boats for about 5 years now. but the other places i talked to never wanted me, not even for shows which i volunteer to work for free. oh well.

I guess none of us will be fishing BASS, since there aren't any tournaments wihtin a days drive. That Bites!!! I'm so tired of BFL that I quit fishing them in the middle of the year. I was really hoping for something new to try.

Hey, heres an idea. why not try the new ABA district. you know, the big water district. saginaw bay, lake st clair, detroit river/ lake erie. if things work out with our 'new' sponsors it will be a big district with a ton of prizes and the chance to hang out with me for 5 more weekends a year PoorBoy himself
