Q. How much does it cost to fish an IPB tournament?

A. The cost for a team to fish an IPB Elite Tournament is $200 in 2023, this includes Big Bass.  A one-time $30 annual membership per person is also required.  Typically checks are mailed along with registration forms however we do take Paypal.  Signed registration forms are still required.

You can email a scanned copy of your registration and pay via Paypal using iowapremierbass@aol.com as the address. Please send as friend or family.

 

Q. When is the deadline to pay?

A. Payments and registration must be received Monday prior to each tournament. We LOVE pre-payments for all tournaments at the beginning of the year.

 

Q. Can I fish alone and weigh 5 fish now that Iowa law has changed?

A. Yes, however this is a team series. The assumption is that a team will realize the advantages of two anglers and therefore will be named at time of registration.  In events outside of Iowa, that state law will still determine how many fish can be kept and weighed by a single angler.

 

Q. Can we have a substitute?

A. Yes.  Substitutes are $100 and must be named in advance and/or approved by the director on an exception basis.

 

Q. How does Iowa Premier Bass determine boat position?

A. Boat draw will be posted the Friday before the tournament and will be conducted via
