KWC Bassmasters

Our members come from all walks of life and interact regularly at monthly meetings, outdoor conservation projects, youth events and club sponsored fishing tournaments. We meet monthly for general meetings, every third Wednesday of the month, from September to June, where we go over the general operation of the club, are entertained by guest speakers or tackle demonstrations, or other items of inte

rest to the membership. Check out our calendar of events for more information about our next scheduled meeting

Our club is affiliated with the B.A.S.S. organization out of Montgomery, Alabama. We also are affiliated with the Ontario B.A.S.S. Federation (OBF), which is the parent organization of all the Ontario fishing clubs belonging to B.A.S.S. The membership in our club costs $100.00 per year, which includes the $22.00 USD we send down to the U.S. The OBF also has yearly dues of $10.00, which comes out of your membership dues. New members are always welcome – for more detailed information about membership, check out the New Members page. We start fishing in May, when pike season opens, and hold approx. 3 – 4 pike tournaments throughout May and June. And at the end of June, bass fishing takes center stage! We do about 9-12 bass tournaments through October. All of our tournaments are of the “Catch and Release” format; that is to say that we make every effort to keep our fish alive during the tournament, and release all fish back to their lake of origin after the weights are recorded. We have our annual banquet every February, where we have a dinner as a group, and award our Club Champion and Angler-of-the-Year trophies from the previous year. It’s quite a nice evening with most of the guys talking about the memories of the past year and guys who are looking forward to next. One special tournament we hold every year is the Husband and Wife tournament in July. This is the most anticipated tournament of the year. It’s a special day when the girls come out “to play with the guys in the their boats”. One important point is that you don’t need a boat to become a member in our Club. Our tournaments are done by a blind draw, with boaters in one hat, and non-boaters in the other. These two anglers then become the team for this tournament only, with the combined total weight belonging to both anglers. Points are awarded based on where the team finishes in the standings. These points are tabulated for both anglers from this tournament, and carried on to the end of the year. Our Angler-of-the-Year is based on the member with the highest point total for that year’s tournaments. Thank you again for visiting our website. Please feel free to contact me anytime.
