WHAT TO EXPECT
Whether you are new to fishing tournaments or a seasoned veteran, you can expect an organized, well-planned experience. At your first tournament, a one-time annual membership fee of $50 per angler, membership form, and $200.00 team entry fee will be collected. Each tournament thereafter will begin by meeting at the designated lake/ramp for sign-in and $200.00 team entry fee will be collected. It will then be your responsibility to ensure a designated team member from NewJen Bass completes a boat inspection prior to launching your boat. Before safelight launch, the tournament Director will then announce any specific locational rules and the blast off order. The American Flag will be flown and the National Anthem will be played. Boats will be released and the tournament will officially begin! Official rules will be provided with your Membership Package.
