UNSOLICITATED BASS DAILY PLANNER

Featured Replies

JUST RECIEVED A BASS DAILY PLANNER THAT SAID 'THANKS FOR THE ORDER...' ONLY I DID NOT ORDER IT.  I AM SURE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ALOT OF OTHERS AS WELL.  ANYBODY KNOW OF A TOLL FREE NUMBER TO CALL TO TELL THEM TO SEND A POSTAGE PAID SHIPPING BOX IF THEY WANT IT BACK?  

ROLL TIDE

That's one of the perks you get for signing up with Bass Master's mag. Have you got their 20.00 fishing how to books yet ? Theirs quite a few of them they'll be sending you.

If you are already a member of BASS be aware, they attempted to send me those daily planners for several years despite the fact I didn't order them.  The first year was free.  After that they kept coming but then they'd start sending a bill for them.  I merely sent the bill back with "I didn't order this" across it in magic marker.   Then I just quit accepting them and sent them back as a refused delivery.  

Just another reason I dropped my membership after 30 something years.  >:(

Yeah - I just received one of those, too.  I marked "refused" on the front and gave it back to the postal worker.  Too bad they're doing that, but I guess enough guys decide to pay for it to make it worthwile...

Thanks guys.

I will be on the lookout for my copy.  ;)

I throwed mine in the trash and they billed me for like a year before they stopped.

Get a black marker and write "RETURN TO SENDER" on it. Place it in your mailbox, put the flag up and the nice postman or post woman will take it and send it back to BASS. BASS then will recognize you did not want it and you will not get any annoying phone calls or letters. Don't be an *** just send it back.

It is my understanding that you have no obligation to pay for or return items sent to you without your order. Use it and don't pay or return.

So, it's more than annoying, it's illegal!

>:(

North American fisherman is even worse. I cancelled both them as well as BASS so they gained nothing from me bt this shady way of doing biz...

maybe we should all keep the planner and they will lose enough money they will stop sending it out..i sent mine back last year with a note not to send me anymore,i haven't recieved  one yet...

If you keep it, make sure you send the first bill you get back with "did not order" written across it. I had Readers Digest send me a CD I didn't order and they sent me bills for over a year. I just ignored the bills because I read the same information from the post office on merchandise you didn't order. However, I found out later that they reported it to the credit bureau as a bad debt and it was a nightmare getting it off my credit.

Keep it, give it away, or throw it away. You don't owe them anything if you did not order it.

I sold mine on Ebay.   ;)

I called them last year when I received it and let them know how I felt about this crap. I have not had another of anykind sent to me without ordering. they also told me to keep the planner as a gift. I sent it back postage due. It's probably still circling the globe waiting for someone to accept it.

I collect these planners, having one for each year since 1997.  I am missing 2020 and 2021.  I will be appreciative if you have either, to pay for postage.

Hot air temps and bright sun makes uncomfortable for the bass angler who seek shade. Hot water over 85 degrees decreases the DO levels in the making uncomfortable for the bass that will seek cooler water.

Green aquatic plants produce DO during day light and provide cooler water via shade as dicks do. Deeper water just above the thermocline also holds higher DO levels and bass will go deeper to seek comfort.

Low light and night cools the air temps, more angler comfort, not more bass comfort. Low light is an advantage to predators like bass who start to roam and hunt prey. The weeds beds are no longer providing DO, the leave moving the break line or weed bed edges.

Haha! I've done that on occasion . At least you are on the right forum .

I've been a B.A.S.S. member since 1986. I received one unsolicited item way back. There used to be a disclaimer on stuff that B.A.S.S. sent out that basically said....If you didn't order it, you weren't obligated to pay for it or return it. That's not a direct quote.
