Sunday, April 21st saw the kickoff of the 2024 USA Bassin season at our beautiful Lake Santee and the turnout for the tournament was fantastic with seventeen teams taking part in the event. While the temperature at takeoff may have been a very cold 36 degrees, the fishing was hot, as every team managed to weigh in keeper size bass!
A huge crowd gathered at the weigh in to watch the father/son team of Ronnie and Brynt Tuley capture the top spot with five bass which totaled 18.30 pounds. Joe Ford and his fiancé, Michelle Simpson, took second with a 17.81 lb. limit while the team of Chuck Sieg and Paul Bruns held on for third with four bass which weighed 16.40 lbs.
Perhaps the biggest excitement of the day was another father/son team, Matt & Scott Perkins, who weighed in the largest bass ever brought to the scales in a Lake Santee tournament, a 7.30 lb. behemoth!
As one may have noticed, our tournaments are a great way for families to enjoy bass fishing together. Over three-quarters of our teams are routinely made up of family members fishing together.
We must once again send out a giant THANK YOU to Michael Massey and all the fantastic folks at Brownies Marine in Fairland, IN for sponsoring our tournaments. Whether you are in the market for a new or pre-owned watercraft or searching for certified, factory-trained service professionals, look no farther than Brownies Marine.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING THE USA BASSIN LAKE SANTEE DIVISION
Lake Santee is a private lake managed by a home owners association, the Lake Santee Property Owner’s Association. With that being said, all rules and bylaws enacted by the homeowner’s association must take precedence, first and foremost. We have received several inquiries concerning eligibility to take part in our tournament. According to the by-laws, only boats registered to property owners who are members in good standing of the association are permitted access to the lake. In addition, one member of the tournament team must be an association member or immediate family member (spouse, child, etc.). This rule, unfortunately, does sometimes exclude participation by teams who don’t meet those requirements.
With all that being said, THERE ARE NUMEROUS LOTS FOR SALE at Lake Santee! These lots can be purchased for very reasonable prices and, in doing so, allows the owner(s) full access to the lake and all included privileges. Interested parties may contact the Lake Santee Property Owners Association office at (812) 527-2943 six days a week to learn more about the community and obtain lists of lots for sale and local real estate agents' contact information.
If you are interested in becoming a part of one of the Midwest’s premiere bass fishing lakes, take a few minutes and research Lake Santee. As tournament directors, our goal is to include as many anglers in our events, not exclude them. However, we must abide by the association’s bylaws to do so.
Thank you to everyone for their understanding in this matter.
