MEMBERSHIP & FEES
U.S.A. BASSIN offers low membership fees of $30.00 per adult and free to youth under the age of 18 before August 31st of every season. These memberships include the right to fish any U.S.A. BASSIN tournament for that season. Tournament entry fees start at $25.00 for a weeknight, and $50.00 for a weekend per boat/team. This makes U.S.A. BASSIN very affordable and fun for everyone!
TOURNAMENTS
U.S.A. BASSIN offers both open and member-only tournaments throughout the course of the season. Open tournaments allow anglers to test out the waters with U.S.A. BASSIN before jumping right into being a member. It is also a cheaper alternative because anglers do not have to pay membership fees to fish in these open tournaments.
Member-only tournaments, on the other hand, offer great opportunities that nonmembers cannot get. For instance, members fish for points that qualify them for Classic Week and a chance at winning a brand new boat! Members also have the chance at winning other prizes and awards that are not available for nonmembers.
