From the Tournament Directors Front Deck:
The Ohio Bass Nation presents the First Team Bassmaster Championship Trail Event for 2022 on Indian Lake. This event will be 1 of 4 events that determine the Ohio Team Champions. This event is a two-man team event. You do not need to be a OBN member to compete. There is no official off limits other than what is designated below and to the Tournament Director’s discretion prior to launch. The rules for the tournament will mirror the Bassmaster Open Rules with Modifications. See the OBN Website for official rules. Each team is responsible for knowing the rules along with the laws in Ohio. Livewell checks will be conducted in the parking lot prior to launch, kill switches will be checked, and lights operational to launch. Safety must be observed. If your light does not work you won’t be able to launch until safe light or you get your lights working (whichever happens first). Fish Care is very important to the OBN and B.A.S.S, so please be prepared to exemplify the best fish care that you can to help ensure that no casualties will occur during the event. Volunteers to run fish to be released outside the launch area would be greatly appreciated!! If you are interested in running fish please contact me via cell Brandon Osting 419-230-6145. You will need to check in with me prior to launching your boat in the water for official briefing.

2022 OBN Annual Meeting Minutes
Ohio BASS Nation Board Meeting Minutes – February 19, 2022
Board Member Attendance: Brian Mailot, Will Presley, Al Evans, Johnny Holton, Danny Ryan, Matt Bertram
Some club presidents and members were also in attendance.
Items
BASS Roster System
- BASS has a new roster system that all club presidents will be required to use to update rosters and pay Nation dues. There is currently no way to get reports from the system. We will need to manually check if members entering tournaments are active and have paid dues.
- It was proposed that we require all club presidents to send a report of all members who are active and have paid dues prior to tournaments. Danny will send an email to presidents with this requirement.
Alliance Package
- Danny said that we have been sent an Alliance package from BASS. This include 1 prop and 5 cases of Mercury oil that will be used for fund raising.
- Danny motioned that we accept the package, second by Matt Bertram. All in favor.
Tournament Permits
- Will has permits for all tournaments. We don’t have any lakes set as backups if needed.
Fund Raising
- We need to come up with other fund-raising ideas. A gun raffle was mentioned and we will need to decide how we want to proceed.
State Team
- Danny sent state team letters and contracts to all qualifiers and alternates. All state team members will be responsible for entering the tournament and paying fees. OBN will reimburse for entry fees and travel expenses as funds allow.

Conservation Update

- Ohio is using an online tournament permit system and it will be active soon. Will tested the system and users will be able to see all lakes, ramps and a calendar for tournament permit registration. There will be a requirement to report all catches.
