JOIN, FISH & WIN! – TEAM INVITATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Our team invitational will be held at the conclusion of the 2012 team season. Locations for the team invitational will include, Table Rock, Pomme De Terre, Truman, Grand, Lake of the Ozarks, Bull Shoals, or Stockton.

We have chosen these lakes for their close driving proximity. At JOE BASS we realize the expense of traveling to a location completely neutral to all of our divisions. So it is our decision that it would be beneficial to all of our anglers to keep it close resulting in the possibility of a team invitational on a divisional lake.

Each team invitational will have an $160.00 entry fee. The payback will be 80%. We will payback 1 for each 5 entered. Qualifying will be determined through Division competition. Numerous sponsor products will be awarded. Division Champions will be recognized and rewarded for their accomplishment.

Equalling everyones chance to WIN. The decision to give away the Skeeter/Yamaha package was based to remove any preceived “home lake advantage” for the top prize. 1st Place will be a miminum of $5000.00!
