What about memberships with B.A.S.S? Would it be wise to contact an established club like B.A.S.S and start a new chapter? My buddy did that with Ducks Unlimited,a little different scenario I know but non the less he can use the name of the organization to help lure new members. Ultimately it would be a goal to participate in larger tournaments and possibly seek attention of sponsors. As far as species, it is something that could be discussed as a real possibility but I would say it should be a special event. Do you happen to have an example of a set of rules. I would assume they would pertain to boat type, engine size, pole limit, etc. But what other rules would be a good idea?

Hello, I am curious to see if you have any advice on how to start a local bass club. After doing multiple searches I have not been able to locate many open tournaments or clubs in my area for the non boater. I plan on purchasing a boat in the future but it just isn't in the budget at the moment but I would like to have the ability to compete. Since I have been unsuccessful in finding a club to join in or around Shelbyville Ky I thought that I may just start one. Any advise or direction would be much appreciated.
