Bass anglers federation bylaws;

The bass anglers federation(BAF) is a bass fishing club that is affiliated with TBF (The Bass Federation). BAF is a group of anglers that enjoy the competitive nature of fishing and the camaraderie of the other anglers in the group. This club has a good mix of the competitiveness and good humor fun all mixed into one. To become a member of the club you must show interest in the club and want to participate in the events and meetings held every month. There is no probationary period for this club but you can at any time be voted out of the club for not participating or rule violations on a regular basis. This will not be a ghost club for the TBF so participation is a must.

Membership dues;

Annual dues will be collected every January of the new year. BAF dues are $30 and you must join TBF which is $55 and are to be paid to the treasurer. If you were a former member of BAF in order to fish a club event you must pay your dues prior to the tournament you are wanting to fish. Club fees go towards awards for the year and permit fees for the tournaments. Any leftover funds will be dispersed either in championship funds or prizes or an end-of-the-year party. Dues are never used for personal gain. . TBF dues are $50 and $5 for the state dues and are also due in December. TBF is the individual members responsibility to ensure their FLW membership is current. If you join TBF through the club your dues are cheaper than joining flw and TBF . when you pay your TBF dues through the club you automatically are enrolled in the FLW and get all the benefits mentioned on your Membership card.

Meetings; Meetings will be held on the first Thursday of every month and are currently held at the bass pro shops in the conservation room upstairs at 6:30 PM.

Officers;

BAF will have for board members, they will be President , Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The president will run the meetings, if the president is unable to attend the meetings then the next officer in line will run the meetings and so on. If there are any discrepancies on the rules or rule violations the board members must meet and come to agreement on how to correct the issue. Any complaint with the club must be dealt with by the board members and their decision about the complaint is final. New board members can be voted in every year in the December meeting. Term of office will be January to December. If a board position becomes vacant then BAF will hold elections at the next meeting to fill the vacancy.

Tournaments;

The club will hold 12 tournaments this year. Which you can throw out your 3 worst finishes. The Point season will begin in january and end in december. The Points Leader will be determined by their best 8 out of the 12 points tournaments. The sites for the tournaments will be decided in the January meeting. It is highly recommended that Every member attend this meeting so they can vote on the dates for the upcoming fishing season. Once the dates are set they are final. Only the board members may allow for a date change if an unforeseen circumstances arises.

Tournament payouts;

Tournament payouts will be calculated on the number of boats fishing in the tournament. The layout is as follows;

1–6 boats pay first place only

7–12 boats pay first and second place

13–18 boats pays first second and third

19 – 25 and pays first second third and fourth The lowest paid finisher (except for 1-6)

Tournament points;

97 points 3rd

94 points 4th.

92 points 5th.

90 points 6th

89 pts.

7th. On down 88, 87, 86 and so on.

If a Team is weighing in 0 fish they will get a last-place points as long as they show up to the weigh-in.( Example team 7 and 8 have 0 fish to weigh, but show up to weigh in each team gets 88 points.)

Tournament draws and fees;

The draw for tournament partners will be done at the monthly meetings. The draw will be done random by the members attending the meeting. No boater/nonboater combination will fish back-to-back tournaments together. People at the meeting especially non-– boaters will have first preference to get into the draw, then people who have phoned in or posted on the forum that they will not be able to make the meeting but want to fish. If a nonboater is not selected for a boat and attends the meeting, that member will be first elected at the next tournament draw. If by chance there are not enough non-– boaters, boaters may fish by themselves. No boater may ask to be withheld from the draw. The fee for tournament is $80 no matter if you're fishing by your self or with a partner. $10 from each boat is pulled out for big fish for the tournament. $10 is pulled out from each boat for angler of the year prize fund. The rest of the tournament entry ($60) is paid out in full for the top finishers. Non-boaters are to pay their boaters gas money for each day finished. Minimum amount to be $20. It is the non-boaters responsibility to communicate with their boaters as to how much they owe. It is on the boaters discretion if the amount is to be over $20. Please be fair as it is expensive to maintain and keep oil and fuel and everything else that goes with a bass boat. If there is an issue with gas money it is to be directed to the officers of the club and discussed to a resolution. Any non/boater or boater no call no show for a tournament or shows up after launch or cancels after Thursday (and we can’t find a replacement) prior to the tournament after 5:00 pm that individual owes their partner $40 to be paid by the next meeting or that member will be in bad standing in the club.

Pre-– fishing;

There are no off-limits days for pre-fishing a club tournaments. You must read federation nation rules and TBF rules for off-limits for those tournaments. Only legal fishing areas are allowed for all tournaments fished in BAF, if Not sure check with your local law agency for legal fishing areas.

Citations;

If a member/boater receives a ticket on the water for any infraction, they will lose all pounds of fish and all points for that tournament, the non boater will not be penalized for the boaters mistakes and will receive the fish weight and points and all prize money if any is won. This rule will flip flop if the non-–boater is responsible for the ticket.

Life vest;

It is the responsibility of each angler to wear a legal lifevest. Under new laws the boater must wear a lifevest and have the Killswitch attached anytime the big motor is under power. It is the non boaters responsibility to have a life jacket prior to the tournament. It is not the boaters responsibility to provide a life jacket for his non boater.

Size and limit;

There is a five fish limit with a 13 inch length limit. All fish will be measured closed mouth and tail pinched. BAF will use a BASS approved measuring board and it is the anger's responsibility to make sure that their boards measure the same as the approved board. Dead fish will be penalized 2 ounces (0.12lbs).Short fish will be penalized 8 ounces (.50lbs) and loss of that fish weight. Late to weigh in will be deducted a pound per minute with a disqualification coming after a length of 15 minutes.

Start times;

Start times are regulated by Safelight and weigh-in times will be determined day of tournament. Summertime tournaments have a mandatory 2 o'clock Weigh-in time.

It was an awesome day on the water, a bit windy in the morning but the fish were biting. We had 11 boats in this derby, the most all year! Four new guys joined us on the water: Paul Rowe, Danny King, Adrien Montero Jr. & Walker Woodward, all of which caught fish. The weights came in real close, with 4 boats having double digit weights. The wiley ol' vet DeeJay Evans took the win with a mix bag of 12.87. KVR and Jake Krause came in 2nd with 11.75. Big fish was caught by Dominic Amato, a nice 3.66LB bass. A great success for the 5th tournament of the year.

Next up is Temple Bar on May 13th.
