Bassinators is a youth fishing club based in Minnesota. We focus on
teaching young anglers fishing techniques, knot tying, and conservation
including fishing etiquette. Bassinators typically holds one tournament
a month, with adults operating the boat, and one to three youth anglers
fishing. These tournaments are typically bass tournaments, with a live
weigh in at the conclusion of the daily tournament. The tournaments are
open to all Anglers up to age 18. All anglers are members of the BASS
Youth Federation through Bassinators, and receive a BASS Youth magazine
and other assorted fishing gifts. After each tournament prizes are
awarded to all anglers.

Each year there is a Youth State Tournament of Champions, and the
winners of each age group go on to fish in the Youth BassMaster Classic
with the BASS Classic Pro's, held in conjunction with the BassMaster
Classic the following year. The age groups for the State Tournament of
Champions are 11 to 14, and 15 to 18. The cost for membership and
tournament entries is $10.00 annually. We are always looking for new
youth members. If you are interested in joining Bassinators and becoming
a better angler, please contact Jeff Gilmer at JeffGilmer@Earthlink.net,
or 612 - 978 - 4493.
