Madison Bass Club

Madison Bass Club The Madison Bass Club is one of the oldest bass fishing club in Madison, WI. Come join us for our ann Welcome to the Madison Bass Club.

We thank you for your interest. Let me give you a little summary of our club. We are an FLW/TBF affiliated bass club. Dues for new members are $80 of which $35 goes to FLW, $15 to TBF, and $30 to Madison Bass for operating expenses. We fish 8 tournaments per year with one being a two day overnighter. Our club does pay for one nights lodging for all members at these events to alleviate some of the

cost. This is what your $30 to Madison Bass helps pay for. You may fish as many or as few tournaments as you wish. You must catch one fish to be eligible for Zone and State tournaments. We also hold a Spring and Fall open tournament. We expect all members to help out at both these events. There is always plenty to do. Our club is laid back and interested in helping people enjoy the great sport of bass fishing. We usually hang out after tournaments and discuss what was successful and what baits produced best. Our tournament lakes and dates our posted on our website. We have both boaters and non-boaters and run an optional side pot at each tournament accordingly. New this year Madison Bass will pay the following years dues to the angler with the most weight at the end of the year (we count six tournaments). Also we pay $100 to the angler catching the biggest bass of the year. We also hold monthly meetings usually on the last Sunday of the month. We hold 8 club tournaments in a year. We also have 2 open to the public tournaments every year, our Spring Fling and our Fall Classic.
