Need EXPERT Advise!

[Reelscreamer]

SERprise and I are just a little over 3 months away from our annual fishing tournament! We did not fish this event last year because we didn't know each other but all of that has changed now! The advise I would like is what do you hot shot Pro's do to prepare for an event like this? I have a 4 options on to fish this event. I just got off the phone with a friend of mine and he said he would like to wait to see what the prizes were before he commits so there for I am not sure what to do bout that! Second I know of another guy who has a boat but I am not sure yet if he is going to be fishing this event or not so I still need to ask him! Next we can rent out a 23' Proline CC for bout $600-700 and have someone charter us around but the thing is I have all the same spots on my gps as he does. Last but not least we can rent a 19' Boston Whaler and fish the event cheaper just pay for time and gas with all of our own gear but not make it to as many places because of the small boat and little engines that go with them! This my friends is my dilemma I am in so please come forth with the knowledge and we will deffinately let ya'll know how we did! Oh and BOX if you read this, I cleaned up those lures by putting red fluoro carbon leaders and shrink wrapped them and SERprise took them out today and a couple of them got tore up from the floor up They slicker than greased lightin now!

Thanks for the help,
Jeremy

TELL THIS FRIEND TO JUST SIT ON HIS ASS AND WATCH TV.....HIS HEART IS NOT INTO THIS GIG!

MY FIRST THOUGHT WITH THIS FRIEND OF YOURS IS " YOU WILL BE "HINDERED" WITH ANY CHANCE OF WINING BY HIS DESIRE.....I MEAN LACK OF DESIRE.


THERE IS ONLY ONE GOAL IN A TOURNAMENT.....WIN THE SUM VITCH!


TEAMWORK AND KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Have to agree with Box on this one,,,well lets see...what are the prizes...bla bla bla... This guy is a shouda- coulda...ah maybe. From what I go through with charters, this guy ain't gona do squat, other than drag you guys down.
Can you guys, rent the 23' boat and do it on your own, that is what I would

Get a deposit from all the guys!!!!!!!!!

That 19 whaler will go anywhere a 23 proline will go. I would go with that if you are not confident in the captain of the 23 proline. In the Bahamas I've caught big blue marlin on a 16' whaler. So you really are only limited by your own abilities.

I'm with Lee and Box on the other friend. If you aren't in it from the get go you never will be.

Good luck and show us the check!
