About Bayou Bandits Bass Club

 Bayou Bandits Bass Club gave ear to the fishing community by meeting the desire of many anglers who wanted to compete alone or with a choice of partner, and for bigger tournament payouts than most traditional bass clubs offered. Some also said they shy away from club fishing because they don’t like giving up their “secrets” to co-anglers. Other concerns were fishermen having to fish the same locations most of the year while seeing the same faces on the winner’s stage! Also, time to scout for the working man was limited or non-existent for most weekend tournaments. So we decided to hold our tournaments on Saturday one week and Sunday the next week; alternating each month, to allow the 5 day a week worker time to look around. So, gathering these thoughts and ideas from anglers as well as ourselves, the Bayou Bandits Bass Club format was formed! 

 

The Tour is open to all to join for a once-a-year membership fee of $120. Progressive Big Bass fee of $100 for the year to be paid at sign up to enter. Members entering club after January will be required to pay the remaining months at time of entering club. Ex. You join club in May, you will have to pay $50 towards progressive big bass to enter. Exception: the progressive big bass has to have been cleared for new entries. An entry fee of $110 ($100 tournament: $10 big bass pot) to compete is due at each tournament. 

 

We have chosen ten (10) different sites throughout the year to challenge the field of competitors to eventually crown an angler of the year. Each location will have two (2) tournament weekends that month. You will be eligible to fish both tournaments for that weekends’ tournament pot, but you will have to choose which tournament will be counted as your AOY points tournament before fishing each month. We will only count your top 7 points tournaments towards AOY points.

​

We are a committee consisting of five (5) members as of now. Input and insights are welcomed from our members. We look forward to making this a fun and exciting tour! See yall on the water!
