U.S.A. Bassin’, headquartered in Bedford, Indiana, is a grass roots team tournament trail that caters to the amateur angler and promotes a “family-friendly” atmosphere.

The year 2008 marks the U.S.A.’s sixth year of competition.

This original concept for the trail allows the youth to be involved and experience competitive angling, while learning good sportsmanship.
We offer free membership for anyone under the age of 16. Our low membership fees of $25, entry fees starting at $25 for a weeknight, and $50 for a weekend tournament per boat/team makes it very affordable and fun for everyone.

In 2008 11 states (Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Maine and South Carolina) will host 320 local tournaments in 60 divisions. Membership is expected to grow another 15-25 percent. The incorporation of fall tournaments begin, and any team with a score of 1,500 points or more in the Open Division will receive a FREE membership good for the next season.

The 2008 season marks the first year of Regional Qualifying tournaments due to the incredible growth in membership. There will be nine Regional Qualifying, and four Super Regional Qualifying tournaments for the 2008 season. Tracker Marine steps up continued support by giving away a Grand Prize Tracker Pro 175 boat at each of the four Super Regional Qualifying tournaments. Regional Qualifying tournaments will incorporate all divisions.

Teams will qualify at the divisional level to fish in a regional of their choice, and as many as they choose. Divisional Champions including the Open Champion will get a FREE paid entry into a Regional. The Regional Points Champions from each Regional will compete for an extra cash bonus at the Classic.

The Top 40 percent at each Regional tournament will qualify for the 2008 Classic to be held on Kentucky/Barkley Lakes on May 2&3 2009. The Grand Prize of a new 898 Nitro Bass Boat powered by a 175 HP Mercury motor from Tracker Marine/Mercury, will be given away at the Classic.

We believe our growth continues because of our dedication to the weekend angler and a “youth-friendly” atmosphere.

We would like to invite you to become a member of our organization to experience the difference and see how tournament fishing is supposed to be. Nationally and locally, U.S.A.
