Northwest Wisconsin Bass Circuit

Registrations will be processed as a first come first serve basis and will be accepted as of January 2nd, 2024 at Hayward Bait & Bottle Shoppe either in person or by mail for 2023 participants, and February 1, 2024 for new participants.

Registrations must be paid in full at time of entry.

The Northwest Wisconsin Bass Circuit is a series of 5 Bass Tournament events limited to 19 boats. Each spring, lakes are selected by the board. Tournaments are $125 per team with 100% payback which includes the Big Bass Pot, although $15 will be withheld and added to the payout of the final event less any DNR permit fees. Trophy's are provided by Hayward Bait & Bottle Shoppe for the first 3 anglers/teams at the end of the year. This should make for a good final event payout. Ties split the winnings at that level. Partners are allowed one substitution throughout the year with the exception of the September Finale. Each partner must register and pay for at least 3 events of the first 4 events in order to qualify for the final. The number of places paid is based on the number of boats. Registrations are due the Friday prior to the tournament at Hayward Bait and Bottle Shoppe. If there are available space on the day of the tournament, registration can be made at the boat ramp on a first come first serve basis. Boat draw will be done on Friday's prior to the tournament. Tournaments are from 7am to 3pm with the exception of the first tournament and Finale which will be 8am - 4pm. The per-tournament meeting will be held 15 minutes prior to take off.
