Hi Evan,

Have you considered joining a bass club? Most clubs have a miniumum age limit of 16 so you should fit right in. That would be the best thing to do so you could gain lots of experience from all types of fisherman. Or try to get together with some one who knows the lakes and let them show you the ropes. I would willing to arrange a trip to Castiac in between tournaments. If interested we could make arrangements to meet up at the lake.
