There's no reason to be intimidated by it. In the end, it's just fishing, you against the fish, do what you know how to do and you'll be just fine. You don't need a $100,000 boat or a shirt with your name on it. If you've got a boat with a live well and a buddy, just enter yourself!
No one is going to share their honey hole or their magic lure with you lol, but 90% of the guys fishing tourneys will be more than happy to help you get started and show you the ropes so to speak. It's the best way there is to learn some new fishing techniques and meet some great people.
Read the rules, be prepared, pay attention, be courteous/friendly, talk to people/ask if you don't know, and you'll have a ton of fun.
