BASS Roster
All youth anglers MUST be up to date in the B.A.S.S. Nation Roster Management system in order to compete in any of our events. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
Follow the information below to make sure your club is up to date. If you have any questions, contact IBN Youth Director Eric Bland at ibnyouthdirector@gmail.com
IBN High School clubs
All high school anglers must be current members of official Bassmaster High School Clubs, recognized by said High School or an official Community Club. Only 1 club from each Indiana school is allowed. Both anglers in each team must be from the same club.
Here is the cost breakdown for HS anglers:
Cost per member is $10 for the B.A.S.S. Nation Dues per year.
Each angler must also have an active B.A.S.S. Membership (aka subscription to Bassmaster magazine) which is discounted for HS anglers to $10 per year. Anglers can choose to buy a lifetime B.A.S.S. Membership for $500.
Note: Indiana does NOT collect state dues.
New Clubs should follow the requirements and complete the form found at https://www.bassmaster.com/news/high-school-registration
Existing Clubs have a couple options for updating your roster.
Option 1: Many clubs just email Mary Fuller at mfuller@bassmaster.com and she can walk you through what needs to be done. Be aware, she can take Nation Dues payment via the phone, but can only handle the Bassmaster subscriptions if you send a check.
Option 2: Have anglers pay for their own BASS Membership (subscriptions) using the $10 discounted rate found at bassmaster.com. Then club coaches can get on the BASS Nation Roster Management system to pay for Nation Dues.
Once again, reach out to Eric Bland if you have any questions.
IBN Junior Clubs
Junior anglers operate under different rules than High School Clubs. Junior Clubs can choose to manage their own club or have their anglers added to the Indiana Junior Bassmasters, which is an at-large club run by the IBN Youth Director. The at-large club is for BASS National membership purposes only, club coaches/advisers are still responsible for the activities and registering for events of the club.
Cost: Only $10 per angler per year
New JR Clubs that want to manage their own roster should go to https://www.bassmaster.com/news/register-your-junior-club for more information and complete the new club form.
Existing JR Clubs:
New or Existing JR Clubs that want to use the state at-large club should direct anglers/parents to complete the form link below. This includes instruction on how to pay the $10 per angler fee.
