I tried that but had no luck, seems all the bass clubs that I can find are full. Ive emailed a few clubs and havent heard anything back, met with Minnesota Federation guys that I know (I used to be in Sportsmans Bassmasters in Bloomington) but Im not getting any results. At this point Im just happy to find some guys to fish with. I sold my boat over the winter And will be a non-boater for probobly till next season. Again any information I can get will be greatly appreciated. I a real good hook!

The clubs can't be full as there is no limit. They might have meant that it's too late for this season. Your club membership has to be locked in by the 1st of april. E-mail Jay Green and let him know of what you have been told, he's the president of the MNBF. Jay will get you into a club!!

Ranger, I think Bemidji hit it on the head about the B.A.S.S. clubs being "full" means that they are locked into there tournament season. If you would e-mail me ([email protected]) I could give you some names of people that could possibly help although I am sure Jay is as good as anyone. I was in Vikings Bassmasters last year but couldn't find the time this year. I know they will be looking for people next year. They meet in Maple Grove.

As for fishers of men are you looking for the club or the tournament organization? For the club go to fishfair.com for more info or for the tournament organization go to mnfom.com. I am involved with both and can e-mail info on these as well.

Thanks for all the responses. I have alot more information than I did yesterday. To my understanding the MBF bi-laws allow for a minimum of 6 and max of 30 members to be a club. I could be wrong. I assumed this was the case as to why I havent had much luck. So anyone having luck using tubes? How are you rigging 'em? I originally went to mn bass page for a bass club to join and got 1 response .Enough of that. I like to use a Strike King tube on an Owner or EC keeper hook. I use a glass bead and brass unpegged sinker. Its very versatile. I get the faceted beads in all different colors. JoBee pro hooks with a solid head tube will go through the weeds better than anything Ive tried and the northerns seem to stay off it better.

Where in the by-laws does it state that a club is restricted to thirty members? The only membership info I know of, is the minimum of six paid members.

It is in our club bylaws that membership shall not exceed 30 members. I believe the original intent of this bylaw was to keep the club from getting too large making meetings and tournaments difficult to manage. Now however if a club wishes to hold a tournament with 30+ participants they would have to obtain a tournament permit from the DNR.

If you are looking for a non-federated club the Westonka Bass club has 2 openings for boaters or non-boaters. The HSOforum is http://www.angling.at/westonka There are 2 events left this year you could be part of. If you have any other ?'s let me know.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
