THE BASS COLLEGE

im fourteen and am trying to find a youth bas club to join. i love fishing and i know a pretty good deal about it.

Right here>> Maryland Bass Clubs << also Fish On Bass Anglers here is looking for members. Others that live right in Maryland will probably even know of some that are not listed. 

will they let a teenager in?

I am assuming there are different rules for different clubs and some are 16 some it may be lower. You have to click the links and contact each one until a member makes a post who actually is a member of that club or who has more info. 

Maryland Regions

There are more than 60 active bass fishing clubs associated with the Maryland BASS Federation Nation

These clubs are organized into four separate regions based on where they are located in the state.

Clubs manage themselves and often run their own tournaments, have their own officers and hold elections for those officers, participate in MBFN-sponsored tournaments, etc. If you are interested in joining a club in your area, contact one of the Region Directors listed on the Contact Us page.

Try this link, it's to the bass federation Maryland. Did not see contact info for youth but did see they have a youth program. Try to contact the President and tell him what you are looking for. This is affiliated with the FLW. Did not see anything on the BASS site for Maryland on the youth progam but you can contact them as well.http://www.mdbass.com/ Good luck and if you need any help let me know.

Simon

thank you both very much. tight lines.

dude,i started in youth clubs. Where are you from?  I know or can get in touch with every youth director.

I would advise fishing the youth clubs first before jumping to the adults, because the youth have their own state championships, regionals and nationals and worlds, where you get to fish from the front of the boat, and you will not be ready to fish on the back of a good pros boat.

you dont have to pay in youth clubs for anything and you do for adult clubs,

if you think our good enough to fish adult clubs and have the money too then fish both, but i would start at youth and perfect flipping, cranking/swim jigs, and drop shotting. You'll kill everyone if you learn those in the youth level , I'm serious.

i went far in the youth division before i ever learned to flip or drop shot properly.

Now im sponsored and fish pro events and in college,

hit me up with a personal message if you live close to western Md or wanna fish somewhere in Md,

i mentor a youth member and try and help teach him stuff and give him baits and he got second in states and regionals twice.

will they let a teenager in?

im 13 and they let me in mine

Is that a B.A.S.S. Federated club Austin?

There is no age limit on adult clubs, you just have to be 16 to enter bass weekend series , and other pro events as a co. TBF bass club's dont have an age limit i dont think, you just have to have the certification to drive a vessel to operate at the front of the boat, i may be wrong but maybe not hahaha 

haha okay i have my boater license and i have driven my boat on the potomac many times and i always fish the front of the boat

The Bass Federation (FLW) and The Bass Federation Nation(BASS) is a great starting point for the youth. If you are able to fish others as well that is just a bonus. A youth angler by the name of Jacob Wheeler just won the BFL ALL AMERICAN this past year. I believe just 2 years after the youth program. He will be turning pro this season or next. Looks like Jonathon is willing to help you out as needed. I would jump to the opportunity..

Thanks simon haha, thats what we r here for, youth clubs are close to my heart because I wouldnt be where I am without it, and it gives me a chance to help out someone where I once was, I never had any help when I was a youth, so i dont want anyone to try to have to learn like i did haha

Fish On Bass Anglers has a 16-year old age limit.

It's actually 15, most bass clubs have a the age limit at 16 though...but for us it's 15.

If you can wait one more year you are welcome to check us out!  We have had several youth members in the past...I started with FOBA at 15.
