Youth

Every year Georgia Bass Federation clubs take pride in holding youth activities to introduce young adults and their parents to the sport of fishing. The next step in this evolution involves the spirit of camaraderie combined with fair competition. For Youth anglers, this means Georgia High School and Georgia Middle School anglers have access to safe and enjoyable opportunities.

This right set of circumstances allows young anglers to participate and assist one another through shared experiences and the challenges a tournament day can present. In 2020 the Georgia High School Association announced the addition of Bass Fishing to its lineup of sponsored sports and activities. The GHSA partnered with The Bass Federation, The Student Angler Federation, and MLF for this new and exciting program. Details on all of this can be found below.

 

The Bass Federation Junior Anglers program is one of the oldest and most productive programs that the Bass Federation has ever had.  It was started by 4 state federations in 1994 and has grown into a nationwide program, culminating in

The Bass Federation Junior World Championship (JWC).
