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!!

Nandine & Montgomery Move on the BASSMASTER Kayak Championship

Posted on Written by

December 5, 2021

Day 1 was overcast and calm most of the day. Day 2 stared out overcast along with a 20 MPH breeze that tested the fortitude of paddlers at the first Texas BASS Nation Kayak State Championship on Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir in central Texas.

The lake is super clear and full of grass, down to 30 feet of water, so the bite was pretty consistent all day if you got on ’em.

Rolando Nandine came out on top with a total of 175″ of bass and a check for $1000.

Second place went to Joey Montgomery with a total of 172.75″ and a check for $700.

Third place went to Alan Cox with a total of 128.0″ of bass and a check for $400.

With a 22 boat field, two teams qualified to move on the next level. The next level being the BASSMASTER Kayak Series Championship to be held March 2nd & 3rd, 2022 on Richard B. Russel Lake in Anderson, South Carolina.

Congratulations to Rolando Nandine and Joey Montgomery who will represent the Texas BASS Nation at the Championship. The tournament field will be comprised of qualifiers from the 2021 Kayak Series — and though the tournament will actually conclude on March 3, the winner will be revealed March 4 and receive a first-place prize of at least $20,000 on stage at Bon Secours Wellness Arena before the first-round weigh-in of the Bassmaster Classic.

Good luck Rolando and Joey!!

Kayak Membership Process

Posted on Written by

As many of you know, BASS Nation has implemented a new Membership Roster Program. It has proven to be difficult to pay BASS Nation (National) Membership Dues in the new system.

In order to fish the upcoming TBN Kayak State Championship an angler must be a member of B.A.S.S. (Parent Organization), BASS Nation (National Organization) and Texas BASS Nation (State Organization).

As a temporary solution, Texas BASS Nation (State) has provided a way for Kayak members to pay for both State and National membership dues on one form. We (The State BOD) will then pay your National dues on your behalf when the new Roster Management system is improved.

The link to join BASS (Parent Organization) is: Join BASS

The link for Kayak anglers to pay both State and National membership dues is https://www.texasbassonline.com/membership-kayak-division .

For questions and/or assistance please contact Brent Stafford, IT Director at bstafford@texasbass.org or (832) 922-5510.

Regards,

Texas BASS Nation
