How do I get involved? 

Step 1 | Contact B.A.S.S. To start the process, call toll free 877-BASS-USA (877-227-7872). You may also e-mail the Nation staff at bn@bassmaster.com. Click Here to contact the president of your state's chapter directly.

Step 2 Option 1| Connect with a Club in Your Area The B.A.S.S. Nation representative will put you in touch with the Nation president of your state. The Nation president of your state will be able to answer any questions that you may have and also put you in touch with a club in your area. The club president will let you know the details and location of the club's next meeting.

Step 2 Option 2: B.A.S.S. now allows "at-large" B.A.S.S. Nation membership. If you choose this option and do not join or start an affiliated chapter, you will still receive all benefits of membership. This “at-large” membership allows you the opportunity to compete in the B.A.S.S. Nation National Qualifiers without having to participate at the club and state level.

Step 3 | Start Fishing After attending your first meeting and submitting your dues, you will be part of the largest bass fishing organization in the world. As a B.A.S.S. Nation member, you can take your fishing to the next level, help educate young anglers and help support and protect your bass fishing interests on both a state and national level through your club's conservation and education programs. Our Member Services team will be with you through the entire process, but if you have any questions you can e-mail us or call us toll free at 877-BASS-USA, and press option #4 for the B.A.S.S.
