The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources has partnered with The Bass Federation and B.A.S.S to bring Youth Fishing Clubs to your schools.
Here’s how it works:
There are four options for forming a bass fishing club. You can choose to participate in a combination of any of the four options or just one of the options.
Option 1: TBF of SC Junior Anglers Program
Option 2: TBF Student Angler Federation Program
Option 3: B.A.S.S Junior Bassmasters Program
Option 4: B.A.S.S High School Nation Program
- You need an adult at your school to help lead your youth fishing club, provide advice and help arrange tournaments, fundraisers, speakers and other learning sessions pertaining to fishing.
- Club level tournament may be held on ponds/bank fishing, piers or by boat. If using boats, there needs to be one boat per 2 anglers. In other words, to fish all 6 anglers (the minimum number to have a club), you need 3 boats. There will need to be one adult per boat.
- Boats may be donated for use by members of the community or local bass clubs.
