Updated 04/28/05 Message Board and Fishing Reports St. Andrews Bassmasters is a South Carolina B.A.S.S. Federation club chartered in the early 1970's. The club's home lake is Lake Murray, in the Midlands of South Carolina. Club membership over the years has reached as many as 32 and as few as 8. There are currently 19 members. Guests are welcome and may petition for membership, granted through unanimous approval of the members. The club recently sponsored and started a youth club. They currently have 12 members, which is the maximum number for the club, based on members' boat availability for the youth tournaments. More info to follow. Ownership of a boat is not required for membership. At the monthly meeting prior to each month's tournament, non-boaters draw for boating partners. This allows novice fisherman and/or non-boaters to have an opportunity to fish with more experienced partners each month, thus gaining knowledge and experience from different perspectives. As a South Carolina federation club, the members earn points as they compete in club tournaments in order to qualify for the South Carolina six-man tournament held in the fall of each year. This tournament is the first step toward qualification for the "Super Bowl of Bass Fishing", The BassMasters' Classic. Qualifiers from this tournament make the South Carolina Southern Division Team and fish against teams of anglers from other states in the Southern Division. You may access The South Carolina B.A.S.S. Federation for more information and tournament results from the federation trail. Dues are $180 per year (see the club bylaws for breakdown) and are applied to a number of items:
