Lake Santee / Division IN-47
February 11, 2021
We have received several inquiries from teams interested in obtaining their 2021 membership cards. The following are three options for those wishing to obtain their 2021 memberships.
Options to obtain your 2021 memberships:
1. The most convenient (and easiest) option is to go to this website and complete this online. Please allow least ONE WEEK prior to your first tournament you plan fish. Retain your purchase/email confirmation paperwork until you receive your 2021 membership card. There is a slight service charge for this option. Questions and assistance can be obtained by contacting the main office at (812) 276-8043.
2. Mail the completed registration form along with payment to the main office at USA Bassin, P.O. Box 1126, Bedford, IN 47421. Please allow at least TWO WEEKS prior your first tournament. Questions and assistance can be obtained by contacting the main office at (812) 276-8043.
3. Personally contact either Chip or Lisa Ayers via cellular telephone or text. Arrangements can be made to register teams prior to the first tournament. This should be done at least ONE WEEK prior to the morning of the first tournament.
***Teams must have either 2021 cards or proof of registration/payment prior to entering the first event***
Please don't hesitate to contact either Chip or Lisa with any questions.
God Bless,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING THE IN-47 LAKE SANTEE DIVISION
Lake Santee is a private lake managed by a home owners association, the Lake Santee Property Owner’s Association. 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 tournaments. 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 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 best 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.
God Bless,
Chip & Lisa Ayers
