NEW MEXICO BASS NATION 2022 STATE TEAM - GRAND LAKE, OKLAHOMA
Tentative dates were presented by Dave Garrett TD for the 2023 season for the clubs to review and discuss. The planning is complicated by low water levels as well as available services at the tournament venues. Elephant Butte and Ute are the only two areas that offer services for tournament anglers in close proximity. Water is still a challenge anywhere, but let's hope for more water. We hope to have the support of the communities we are visiting as the NMBN provides substantial beneficial economic impact when hosting events.

Format is best 3 of 5 events for qualifiers. You do not need to go out of state to qualify. You don't need to go to a specific venue if you don't like it. We felt this was the best compromise based on member feedback.
