📊 Member Input Requested
A survey will be emailed out in the coming week asking for member feedback on a potential change to the co-angler fish limit (5 fish vs. 3 fish). Before any decision is made for 2026-27, the board wants to hear directly from members on what you feel is best for anglers and the organization.
We hope to see you on February 7 as we kick off another great year for the Ohio Bass Federation!
