The Ontario B.A.S.S. Nation is taking over Quinte West for the 2026 Hank Gibson Provincial Qualifier. This isn’t just another weekend on the water—it’s your chance to test your limits, push your skills, and prove what you’re made of.
Why step up and fish the Qualifier? Because the rewards are life-changing:
The Top 8 Boaters & Non-Boaters will qualify to represent Team Ontario.
Team Ontario advances directly to the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship.
This is your direct pathway to the Bassmaster Classic and the Bassmaster Elite Series!
Qualifiers earn a paid trip down south to compete against the best.
🔥 Big Bass.
🔥 Big Stage.
🔥 Big Dreams.
Every single cast is a chance. Every decision matters. The early mornings, the long runs, and the relentless grind are what separate those who simply compete from those who rise to the top. This is where passion meets purpose—and where champions are built. 🎣💪
The road to Team Ontario starts on the legendary Bay of Quinte, and your moment is waiting.
🗓 Dates: August 29–30, 2026
📍 Location: Bay of Quinte | Quinte West
Commit to the journey. Trust your instincts. Chase greatness.
Enter now — and make your mark. Early bird deadline is April 30, 2026🏆

We are saddened to learn of the passing of longtime B.A.S.S. and OBN member George Barrett. George was an original member of the York Bassmasters and a dedicated, active member of the West Toronto Bassmasters prior to joining York. George to this day was an honorary member of the Orillia Bassmasters.
George’s son, Steve—known to many as Fluffy—has been and continues to be a very active member of the OBN community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Steve and his family during this difficult time. Fluffy was also an original member of the York Bassmasters and is currently a member of the Orillia Bassmasters.
