Thinking of moving
Hey all,I am not saying I am going to move next year and fish the B.A.S.S and
FLW tours, but those are my goals. Currently I live in Neenah , WI, and
I figure as if I ever want to compete on a national level there is no
way I can have 5 months off while my lakes are under ice. Sure it gives
me a lot of time to read and watch videos, but I don't believe that
replaces on the water experience. I have talked with my wife and areas
that have popped up have been Florida, California (Southern, back to San
Diego), Arizona, North Carolina, Tennessee , and possibly Georgia). I
would like to be located in an area where I would have access to the
national tournaments, but also have lakes I can fish year round that
would give me a diverse fishery where I can apply different skills.
Anything to help me make it. I appreciate any and all input. Thanks in advance, Chris |

Chris, I lived in Florida for 4 years...Pensacola. The weather, and the
fishing were great, I practically lived on the water, and fished year
round. I also lived in San Diego for almost 20 years...the fishing is
about as good as it gets there...but the available lakes are sometimes a
little crowded for me. The Colorado River area is close, and a great
fishery. I also lived in Tennessee for a couple years on Tims Ford
Lake...I was with-in a few hours drive to many other great lakes in the
area. The living expenses there were less expensive than any other areas
I've lived, and in my opinon, a really great place to enjoy the natural
elements of life! I now live in Ky., many geat Lakes here, and the
weather is not all that bad, but there are a few months that are slow as
far as outdoors stuff is concerned. My first choice would be San Diego, but it's relatively expensive to
live there, and you would be out of the "national" scene. It is a very
competitive fishing area, but most would say it's the "minor leagues"
compared to the big tornament circuits back here. But not a bad place to
cut your teeth wih some real pros. Tennessee is very central, and relatively inexpensive...lots of good
water there. Florida is probably the place to be if you want to have time on the
water, and play with the big boys :). So many choices <grin>. Good luck!!!! JK |

| There are a lot of tournaments here near me - there are some kind of
buddy or pot tournament just about every weekend of the year within two
hours of the Griffin area, about an hour south of Atlanta. Eufaula is
2.5 hours away. |

| BTW - I expect you will have to start out at the BFL level and work up
to Everstart, then FLW, and in BASS start with the new state trails or
in the divisions and try to work up to the Tour. Don't think you can
just enter the bigger trails. |

| Ronnie, I definitely understand the steps it takes, those were more ultimate
goals, rather than immediate goals, 3, 5 7, 10 year plan. Thank you
very much for your input, you as well John. I actually grew up in San Diego, fishing Mirimar, Otay , El Capitan,
Jennings, Cuyamacha, and Cholas lakes. I really liked it there, but you
are right, it is just so darn expensive to live there , but I would love
to get back eventually :-) Thanks again everyone. Chris |

| Live on Toledo Bend.
It's dirt cheap to live there.
EVERYONE is a bass pro.
Central in the U.S. for travel
No lake offers as wide a variables for learning fishing techniques.
Tournament every week on Toledo or Rayburn, which is an hour away.
If you can compete on Toledo, you're ready for anywhere. Just look at the
pedigree of the pros who live there. |

| Joe and Charles, I am looking on monster.com for jobs in the area. What city would I
want to live in that would be most centric to the lakes. Looking at the
lakes map (which of course don't have city names next to them, except
Nashville) I see they are near each other. I would like to stick near
Percy Priest, and Centerhill. Could you do me a favor and maybe send me some classified ads from the
area I would like to be in. Could you drop me an email at
crennert@new.rr.com and I will send you my address if that is all right. Michelle and I are starting to seriously think about moving. I
appreciate anything you guys can do for me. Thanks again, Chris |

| Hey Chris... I don't know if this would help, but this is the online
classifieds from our local paper The Tennessean. http://tinyurl.com/3zmkk As far as living here... just stay out of the Goodlettsville/Hendersonville
area and you'll be okay. The only reason I say this is the traffic is
terrible between there and the downtown Nashville area. |
