I've been fishing for all my life now. I just convinced my friend to lend me his $30,000 boat for my first tournament on Pickwick Lake in Tennessee. The tournament is a trash fish tournament. And yes there are gar. I have a few topwater frogs and popper lures. I have plenty of plastics, swimbaits, and rods/reels. I have my licenses for fishing and boating. I have a few ?'s that I can't seem to find. What gear do I need to buy for the boat and tournament? He said he was going to empty the whole boat for me and I had to use all my own stuff. Do I need to buy some treble hook covers so when I lie my rod down, it will not get stuck in the carpet and mess it up. Do I need some of those bass pro fish storage baggies? Do I need Fish markers( the different colored things you put through the fishes lip so you can identify them) so I can identify the fish I catch. Is there any winter deep water lures that you think I will absolutely need and will help me throughout the tournament.
