2020 Bassinators Lakes & Rivers Cleanup

The Bassinators Board of Directors have decided to modify this year’s lakes’ clean up event.

This year’s event will involve “Fishtancing” aka social distancing, while promoting a healthier & safer world.  The idea is fishing programs and tournaments across the board have become more digital with cellphones through apps which promote healthier lakes and fish.  This will also give Bassinators the opportunity to give back to more Minnesota Lakes and Rivers!

Details:

  1. Go to ANY nearby lake, river, creek, pond at ANY time between now and April 18.
  2. Clean up the public access, trails, park, waterline, etc.
  3. Take a picture in front of the park sign with the awesome work you did.
  4. Send picture(s) to Jeffrey, Adam or Justin, with the bag of trash or work you did.
  5. Receive a pack of soft plastic worms for your commitment to conservation and the environment with the Bassinators.

Bassinators continue to take the health and safety of our youth anglers, families and volunteers very seriously and will continue to meet with other fishing organizations, experts, local and state authorities, and follow the guidance from the DNR, Governor and President.

More details to come in the future regarding Bassinators 1st “Fishtancing” season!
