Thank You
We want to Thank Steve Jarrett and the North Tampa Bass Club for their hard work hosting the PVA Citrus Slam on Lake Toho recently. The Florida Gulf Coast Paralyzed Veterans of America puts this event on every year for our American heroes and Steve and the North Tampa Bass Club made it possible. We would also like to thank the many anglers who gave their time and resources to help these veterans compete in this great event. Thank you one and all.
Welcome to
the Florida B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Web Site
Thank you for visiting our web site. The goal of this site is
to make available as much information as possible to our members
as well as provide a general understanding of the Florida B.A.S.S.
Federation to new members and visitors.
 B.A.S.S.
chapter members are our grass-roots fishermen dedicated to the
future of bass fishing. They furnish manpower, money and equipment
for lake clean-ups, promote catch-and-release, encourage community
involvement, lobby for and against proposed legislation, introduce
youth to fishing and even conduct tournament creel census reports.
Our federation members also have another common
interest, tournament fishing. Every weekend our anglers enjoy the
B.A.S.S. National Federation Tournament Trail. It is the only amateur
circuit that leads to the prestigious B.A.S.S. Masters Classic
where they compete against the top 40 professional fishermen each
year.
On this circuit, chapter members qualify through
our state federation for a slot on our state team. Our state team
then competes against other state teams at the B.A.S.S. Central
Divisional Championships. At this tournament the contenders compete
as a team for the prize money, but the top individual from each
state team advances to the B.A.S.S. Federation National Championship.
At this National Championship tournament the contenders compete
against all of the other divisional qualifiers and against the
other contenders in their division. The top individual from each
division advances to the BASS Masters Classic.
Today our National Federation members are actively
pushing for better conservation practices, introducing kids to
fishing, conducting community service projects and promoting fishing
throughout their communities. Because of the hard work and dedication
of our federation members the future of fishing looks bright!
