Bass Club/Tournaments

[joeyc1974]

My brother in law and I are looking to join a good local club around Louisville that fishes about 6-8 tournaments a year. Any club members have any suggestions?

I have to put in a plug for the kincaid Bassmasters. They are not in Louisville....but we only have one annual meeting a year; to vote on our 12 tournament sights! We are the largest and one of the oldest clubs in the state; we are affilated with Kentucky B.A.S.S. Federation Nation (you would be able to fish our 4 qualifiers). We fish all over the state; so it really doesn't matter where you live...I live in Buckner...work hear in Louisville. We pay out 4 places each tournament only...($25 per-person entry fee)...buddy allways tournaments...$35 for the club dues...$40 for the BASS Nation dues=$75. We have AOY award..plus the top 10 at the end of the year...and a huge payout for our 2-day classic tournament. We have a nice web sight for more info. Hope you join!

I second Iroquois Bass Club..... I have fisshed with them for the last 3 years now and the competition is great but all the guys are very laid back and easy to talk with.

I was in one during college at Louisville and had a blast. We were all college kids, so it was different than your normal bass club. After graduation I haven't really had the desire to join another club because it seems like with the older generation they take great enjoyment in complaining 24/7. I can't stand that.

A group of us get together in the summer and fish every other week on Wednesdays on the Ohio out of Cox's Park. Usually fish from 6 pm to 9 pm, $20 per boat, winner take all. Usually have about 5 to 10 boats. It's all for fun, and we heckle each other a lot...especially Snow! It's not really a club, just some guys getting together to have a little fun fishing, which is the way it should be.

Aside from that, USABassin' runs a division out of Cox's Park - 5 tournaments during the year, once a month starting in April. I've enjoyed that. It's a $60 entry fee and draws about a dozen boats at each tournament.

It's hard to beat IBC. I haven't fished with them for a few years now but all the guys were great and it was ran well.
