The 2012 MN Bass Fed Tournament of Champions had us hosting it on Island Lake Reservior, Duluth, MN. Check out our new club jerseys, thanks to our many sponsors for all the help. We finally got into some plaques, with all the great anglers fishing we were glad. But it's just a start now to try for more next year.

Duluth BASS is always looking to add new members to our club. To join goto contact Doug at doug@duluthbass.org or CALL: 218-390-9973
It's simple to join us, you can simply contact us, pay your club dues and fish with us.
JOIN TODAY!
If you want a chance to fish official Bassmasters and B.A.S.S. qualifying events, all you need is to be a member of Bassmasters, the Minnesota Bass Federation Nation, the B.A.S.S. Fed Nation Roster, and our club.
There are three ways to qualify for the TOC each year. We qualify for a set number of openings. So a certain number of teams at the top of our standings (best 5 of 6 events) from the prior year can qualify. Then again if you didn't make it the previous year, you and all new members compete for the remaining openings by being at the top after the first three events of the current year. Plus one more member gets to compete in the Alternates Tournament for a final opportunity to fish the TOC, as a non-boater.
We are getting ready for next year, now. Now to get the meetings setup, the members signed up, official club shirts and sponsors arranged, and the coming year will be even better. We hope that any serious bass anglers consider joining us for 2012 and a shot at the Tournament of Champions on Island Lake in Duluth Minnesota next September.
We'ld like you to join our BASS team.
