"Our club typically fishes 8-10 tournament days each year. Usually there are two or three 2-day away tournaments (over 75 miles from Lincoln) and the remaining tournaments are 1-day local tournaments (less than 75 miles from Lincoln). We have paper tournaments; not actual weigh-ins as we strongly believe in conservation of the fishing resource. We pay out $20 for the biggest bass of each tournament and keep track of the six best tournament finishes for each member in order to determine who wins the Angler of the Year Plaque. Our dues each year are approximately $75 which also goes to pay out the $20 for big bass each tournament. Our club has many good fishermen in it, but we emphasize the camaraderie, not the competition. Everyone is willing to share how and where thay caught fish after the tournament. We often stop and eat dinner together on the way home after tournaments. We travel using the buddy system,whenever possible, and share all expenses with the boater/driver. We have several members that are retired, but also have younger members that range down to college-age. We are always looking for potential members that would like to actively participate in a bass club. It is not necessary that you own your own boat, but boat owners are also welcome."

We currently have 13 members, with 11 of them owning their own boats. We are looking for new members at this time, especially more non-boaters. Please contact us for more information about our club.

We meet the 4th Wednesday of each month at the Lincoln Elks Club at 7:30. We conduct an informal business meeting, then hang around for an hour or so visiting.
