No Nonsense Prairie Bass Tournament – #4 of 5

NNPBS Continues in 2023

The 4th tournament out of 5 for 2023 takes off July 22!  The field begins to get more defined as to who will and who may not make the Classic.

River Strategy For Teams In The Hunt

Naturally, teams will be seeking top water action in the backwater areas as well as timber in the transitional areas.  Alternatively, smallmouth on the channel and wing dams could be the winning approach.  The river is a complex puzzle for all anglers, including the well seasoned anglers in NNPBS.  Who’s strategy will pay off and who’ll be left wishing they’d had targeted something different?

Who Is NNPBS & How Does It Work?

No Nonsense Prairie Bass Series (NNPBS) kicks off their third year of Mississippi river bass tournaments!  Launching from Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin.  These have become very popular tournaments as anglers must stay on Pool 10 and your chances of winning go up as anglers must fish the same areas.

NNPBS is a points based series that rewards the top 20 point leaders to fish a “Classic” event at the end of the season.  This Classic is a no entry fee tournament and only the top 20 teams are allowed to fish.

New for 2023 is the “Wildcard Tournament”.  While yet to be defined, this event is likely a last chance for the non top 20 teams to get into the Classic.  

NNPBS History

NNPBS showed no signs of a sophomore slump in their second season of tournaments.  The number of boats continued to exceed 60 in most events and even 70 in others.  Eric Johnston and Adam Farmer team up with their immediate families and close friends to put on an extremely well organized bass series.

Organized

Launching orders are decided via random draws that are live on Facebook the Thursday before the event.  This normally takes place at one of the sponsors facilities and anglers attending often get up to 15% discounts.

Launch and weigh in procedures are well organized.  Anglers are asked to arrive early and get their bass boats in the water to avoid delays.  Weigh Ins are prompt, organized and again live fed from Facebook.  A large LED sign shows the weights as the fish cross the scales and Eric is easily heard via a microphone and speaker.  The calculations are fairly timely considering there are over 60 teams and winnings processed at the events. 

This series continues to impress and the NNPBS founders remain angler oriented while loyal to their sponsors.
