I first do a private camp.
Then i use Scouting Service to unlock my state and neighboring states.
Then i use Assistant Searches, going out in 100 mile increments with the $1500 for 25 players.
I basically use a trawler to find recruits... I'm grabbing the giant cod, the haddock, the halibut, the sea robins, the stone crabs, the beer cans, the old tires, freakin grabbing Luca Brazzi, you know? Probably get around 250+ guys, and figure i should be able to find and sign 3 or 4 of them within this group.
