Registration is now open for our Junior (entering 2nd - 8th grade for Fall 2026) 2026 Season! 

Season starts May and ends in early September.

There are 3 steps you must follow to complete the registration process. Please find each step listed below with detailed instructions.

Each Angler must have a partner within the age limit listed above.

Each team of 2 must have a boat captain. Boat captains will not be provided; you must have a boat captain and boat to sign up. Anyone ages 18 and older, has a boat, and can drive big motor with knowledge of watercraft safety laws and rules in Minnesota can be a boat captain. 

Boat Captains must complete a background check through community education. Background Link

Teams and/or boat captain must provide their own boat.

All boats must:

-have an operating livewell with aeration system to keep all bass alive throughout the day (checked at morning take-off)

-have an operating kill switch connected to the boat captain when the big motor is in operation (checked at morning take-off)

-have minimum 16 foot length and power cannot exceed Coast Guard maximum limitations. Horsepower (250 hp) limitations do apply at National events.

-carry a $300,000 minimum liability insurance policy with a copy readily available upon random checks at morning check-in.

Do this step before you finish the Community Education Registration process.

STEP 1: SIGN UP WITH BASS & PAY $12 ANNUAL FEE

Must write down and hang on to your BASS Membership #

This is basically signing up for the Bassmaster magazine, but also covers membership for participation in BASS events. Some of you will be RENEWING the BASS membership - if you signed up last year some of your memberships may have already auto-renewed, so be sure to ask. Either way, call to sign up, renew, or confirm that your membership auto-renewed - and be sure to confirm and write down your angler’s BASS Membership Number. Keep your BASS Membership # readily available, as you will need it for Step 2.
