Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join the club?

You can join by attending one of our monthly meetings or by going to a tournament. Also, check the bottom of our home page for links to e-mails for the club officers, who will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Do I have to attend meetings to be a club member?

No. However, they are a great place to meet other folks, learn more about bass fishing, and chew the fat with other avid anglers.

How much does it cost to join?

For 2004, dues for a standard membership are $40. Of that money, $20 goes toward the year-end Tournament of Champions, $15 goes to the BASS Federation National chapter (they provide our liability insurance) and $5 goes to the BASS Federation California chapter. For those under 16 years of age, dues are $30.

Do I have to join the club to fish in your tournaments?

No. If you don't join, though, your points will not count toward qualification for the Tournament of Champions. Also, after you fish your first tournament of the season with us, it will cost an extra $5.00 to fish.

How much do tournaments cost?

The tournament entry fee is $20.00 for club members. Of that money, $5.00 goes to the club & the other $15.00 goes to 100% payout of the top 1/3 of finishers.

For non-members, the first time you fish with the club, the entry fee is the same - $20.00. After that, it’s $25.00 (an extra $5) to enter.

In addition to the entry fee, there are optional bets for big fish ($5.00) & a jackpot option (another $5.00). For the big fish prize, two-thirds goes to the biggest fish weighed-in that day & the other one-third goes to the second biggest fish. The jackpot is 100% to the winner (i.e., the winner among those who placed a bet in the jackpot – that’s not always the tournament winner).

What equipment do I need to participate in a tournament?

Aside from the obvious (tube, waders, fins, fishing equipment, etc.), you’ll need a livewell. Many people use fish baskets or Follow-Me Bags. You can make one yourself, too. Just make sure it’s big enough that the fish have room to move around a little. If you want to make your own but don't know how, post a question on the Forum or Basstalk, both of which can be found on the homepage. There are many experienced tubers in our club and Bass-n-Tubes who will be happy to share information with you.

What are the rules?

Links that will take you to all of the rules for fishing in our club and for qualifying for the Tournament of Champions can be found on our homepage. Be sure to read and understand them before fishing with us. If you have any questions, contact a club officer, who can explain them in more detail.
