Thank you for your support of our 2021 trail series. This year's state championship will be held on Lake Chickamauga! Your being in this event is due to your accomplishment in either one of our events or your qualification through the strong grassroots series we have here in Tennessee. Either one is a great indicator of your abilities.
In order to fish the 2021 TN Bass Nation State Championship each angler will need to be a member of both BASS & Bass Nation. That cost is $15 & $30. You register for BASS ($15) yourself on their site.
Register and pay the $15 to join B.A.S.S. here...

Once you obtain your membership number you message that to me along with $30 via PayPal [email protected] friends & family & I register you in BASS Nation.
Most everyone who fished a 2021 TN Bass event or the 2020 KAST State Championship are still covered under their BASS & BASS Nation dues from 2020. The few who aren't will be contacted.
The dates are Saturday August 7th & Sunday August 8th. The check in sites will be updated asap but will be in the downtown Dayton, TN.
Lake Chickamauga is a very easy Lake to navigate around. Your drive to and from any launch access area shouldn't be much of a problem.
The launch boundaries will be any public ramp or access from Watts Bar Dam to the Chickamauga Dam & up the Hiawasse to the I-75 bridge. Marinas are off limits to launch. All marinas on Chickamauga are private. Some days a phone call will gain you access but an hour later another angler can be told no depending on whoever answers the phone, hence the reason they're off limits. The 3 exceptions are the ramp in front of Chickamauga Marina & B&B Marina the Cottonport Marina. Those 3 are public or pay ramps.
Once you launch you're allowed to paddle/pedal/motor as far as you wish.
Right now we shouldn't have any problem paying back 100% of the $100 entry fee. We have some sponsor money to cover Tourney X & PayPal fees. With the number of qualified anglers this will be one amazing payout to the top 10% of the field to go along with the top 10% qualifying for the 2022 B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series Championship held in conjunction with the BASSMASTER CLASSIC.
