This is an invitation to the members of all area bass clubs.  If you are not satisfied where you are, come over and check us out for yourselves.  Come fish where club fishing is done right.

Fishing to win money?  Think you have to fish the BAIT Trail to get it?  WRONG!  Check this out, the numbers don't lie.  We charge $25 per person.  If 35 people fish the winner will get $438.00.

For example, last June's Bait tournament at Dewey had 29 boats at $100 each, that's $2,900.00 dollars of which they held out $870.00 and only paid $2,030.00.  The winners got $880.00.  If you split that, they made $440.00 each.  And it cost them twice the entry fee to get it. 

Don't listen to gossip and hear say from other guys about our club.  You've heard the old saying that goes something like this.  You can only believe half of what you hear and the other half is probably a lie, or something like that.  Anyway, you get the point.  If you are looking for a place to fish where the rules are followed and everyone is treated the same and fair.  Where nothing is done unless it benefits the entire club.  Here we are, come and check us out for yourselves.

Our tournaments are 10 hours long and that apparently turns some people off.  Our club likes to fish, the more we get to do it the better we like it.  Look at it this way, the only way to become a better fishermen is through experience and time on the water.  Also, as much as gas costs these days it only makes since to fish as much as you can while your there to get your money's worth.  So, if you are one of those guys who can't get enough and think 8 hours is for wimps then get over here and fish with us.  We will give you all you can stand.

Tired of your club scheduling half of the tournaments out of state?  Tired of having to go to Tennessee all the time?  We have 9 tournaments per year, one each month from March to November with only one of our tournaments out of state in Tennessee.  Our schedule is setup for the workingman.

Tired of your clubs web site never getting updated?  Really shows just how much the people in charge care about its members don't it.

Tired of your club changing tournament sites and dates every time you turn around.  Or even worse, changing the rules to suit certain

people during the year.  We put a lot of thought into our rules and our tournament schedule.  Unless there is a catastrophe nothing changes during the year.  If something has to be changed everybody gets input into the decision.

If you have any questions, please give us a call.

We know some of you guys out there fish a club because its set up as buddy tournaments.  That's fine, buddy tournaments are fun but to truly find out where you stand as a tournament fisherman you really need to compete on your own without a buddy to rely on.  There are a lot of fine buddy trails out there but the most prestigious trails are boater  / non-boater.   Come give us a try, we think you will find our club and the boater / non-boater format a real challenge and a learning experience.
