Texas B.A.S.S. Nation

Bassmasters’ Creed: I promise to create among my fellow anglers, and the public in general, an awareness of my Chapter’s and Society’s contributions to angling, conservation and outdoor recreation. I will encourage and instruct the youth of my community in the art of bass fishing. I pledge myself to full adherence to all conservation codes and to detect and report any polluter of our nation’s waters.

2024 Membership Renewal

Posted on Written by

Membership renewal for Texas BASS Nation opened September 1, 2023. The window for renewing individual B.A.S.S. membership, Club Division membership, Youth Division membership, College Division membership and Kayak Division membership will remain open through December 31, 2023. Team Division membership will be simplified for 2024. Details and guidance for renewing all types of membership can be found on the TBN Membership page.

Texas BASS Nation now has a true online membership database!! What does that mean? It means that bass club officers will not have to re-enter member information every year from this point forward!! In fact, historical membership data has been imported into the new database. All you need to do this year is verify the information is accurate, update the information if needed and pay for one or more members with a credit card. This is a huge step forward in streamlining the membership renewal process in Texas.

So take a look at the new system and get started on the TBN Membership page!!

5/21/23 Amistad Results

The final stop for the 2023 TBN South Region regular season was a doubleheader on Lake Amistad, 20 and 21 May.  16 anglers made the trip and found typical conditions for late spring with temperatures in the mid 80’s and light winds from the south.  Overall fishing was tough not for numbers, but for keepers.

Cliff Martinez captured the top spot Saturday with a five fish limit of #12.41 including a #4.46 kicker that was good enough for big bass on the day.  Ryan Watkins’ 5 fish bag of #9.66 was good for second place, and Trevor Rogge was close behind, rounding out the podium with 5 fish that weighed in for #8.94.

On Sunday Ricky Bishop showed out with a full creel for #11.90 to top the podium.  Rick Shock was less than a pound back, his five fish weighing in at #10.99 earning second place.  Third place was Ken Scarborough with a #9.55 limit anchored by the big bass of the day at #4.13.
