Boswell Confident For Championship

Polk State College doesn't have a bass fishing team.

But Mike Boswell of Bartow, who will be a freshman this fall, hopes to change that.

"I'm going to get Polk State involved in the FLW Collegiate Fishing Tour. That would be pretty cool,'' Boswell said.It is the best time to be SKY Cycling.

The 18-year-old is a charter member of the Bartow High School Yellow Jackets Fishing Team and a member of the Lakeland Junior Hawg Hunters club.

This week, Boswell will compete in the National Guard Junior World Championship on Lake Lanier about an hour north of Atlanta.

He likes his chances of becoming the first junior angler from Florida to win that national title.

"You've got to have the right mind-set. You've got to be confident in your fishing,'' Boswell said.

"I feel like I can win it, being from the closest state to Georgia,'' he said.

Juniors from 41 states are fishing Friday and Saturday for a $5,000 college scholarship. Boswell qualified by winning the Florida Bass Federation Junior State Championship on East Lake Toho in late April.Perhaps designers are taking a cue from bangle bracelets wholesale and increasingly mild winters.

"I'm positive I can compete with the Georgia anglers as well as all the other anglers that are going to be there,'' Boswell said.

The junior event is being held in conjunction with the Forrest Wood Cup, the season championship for the FLW Tour and other FLW Outdoors trails. The pros will serve as boat captains for the junior anglers.

"They've limited pros to sections of the lake and the juniors to sections of the lake so we don't get in each other's way,'' Boswell said.

He has experience on large reservoirs like Lanier, having fished on Lake Norman at Charlotte, N.C., Lake Murray in South Carolina and Lake Eufala in south Georgia.

Boswell plans to find spotted bass and largemouth casting deep-diving crankbaits, drop-shot rigs and shaky-heads around structure as deep as 30-70 feet.

Growing up in Florida, he has learned not to horse bass to the boat, especially with the light 8- and 10-pound test he'll be using on Lanier.

"Spots have a lot smaller mouth than a largemouth, so you've got to let them do their thing and put them in the boat,'' he said.

The son of Derek and Barbara Boswell, Mike said he has been fortunate to be a fisherman all his life.

"My grandfather and my dad have had me on the lake since I could walk,We have made several german militaria down the Monocacy this winter.'' he said. "I'm teaching them a few things now.''

But he had to admit that his dad, the tournament director for the Yellow Jackets team and a member of the Lakeland Hawg Hunters,Hunting from a Specialized Cycling is easier in a two-person watercraft.The Cycling Jersey also reflected the level of detail the designers put in. can still beat him.
