There’s nothing like it — running to your first spot at dawn, the big one at weigh-in, and a hundred friends who love it as much as you do. Maine B.A.S.S. Nation is competition, camaraderie, conservation, and youth — one club at a time. Find your club and get in the boat.

Why Join a Club

Compete

Fish club events, Opens, and the State Championship — and chase a spot at the B.A.S.S. Nation Regionals and beyond.

Get Better

3
Pay your dues

Roughly $60 combined covers Maine B.A.S.S. Nation and B.A.S.S. dues, collected through your club (individual clubs may have small dues of their own).
