About

We are a volunteer led youth organization that hosts High School and Junior Series (Middle School) bass tournaments at various lakes and rivers across the State. With the popularity of high school fishing increasing, more and more clubs are being formed nationally. These events give young anglers a chance to experience the competitive atmosphere and allows them to join an existing team or start their own team at their school or in their community. 

Teams consist of two anglers and an adult boat captain. Fish tournaments to win single event awards and earn points to qualify for the National Championship (High School). Fish enough events to qualify for the State Championship, and finish in the Top 2 to qualify to fish in the BASS Nation National Championships — High school or Junior Series! BASS membership and BASS Nation membership are required. Discounted BASS memberships for students are available online at bassmaster.com. We are a BASS and BASS Nation affiliated organization.
