GIVE NBAA A TRY – FOR FREE!
As in past years, we invite anglers across the country to try out an NBAA event in your area. It can seem like everyone already fishes with NBAA, but there’s always a few we miss. If you haven’t had a chance to fish one of our events, we invite you to jump into the last event of any division and pay no membership fee. If you’re one of our regular members, consider bringing along a buddy that wants to check out a tournament. Better yet, bring along a kid and introduce them to competitive angling. Everyone wants to get out on the water! Don’t put it off any longer, give us a try. Also make sure you fill out a membership form so we don’t miss you next year. |
