Step 2 Option 1| Connect with a Club in Your Area The B.A.S.S. Nation representative will put you in touch with the Nation president of your state. The Nation president of your state will be able to answer any questions that you may have and also put you in touch with a club in your area. The club president will let you know the details and location of the club's next meeting.
Step 2 Option 2: B.A.S.S. now allows "at-large" B.A.S.S. Nation membership.
