These
are
the member clubs of the South Jersey Bass Club
Association. If you are thinking of joining a bass
club, check out the ones that indicate they are actively
seeking new members. If their profile information
sounds interesting (or hasn't been submitted yet), get
in touch with their club contact for more details. Keep in mind that although a profile may say that a club is based in a particular location, it doesn't necessarily mean that they only accept members from that location or that they only fish near that location. In fact, most clubs draw their members from a wide geographical area and fish locations all over southern/central NJ and/or out of state.

Profile: Kickin' Bass is made
up of anglers with different skill levels who like to fish
competitively and for fun. Some guys aspire to kick bass
at a higher level by competing in open buddy tournaments
during the year, while others just want to fish once a
month for fun. They have club tournaments once a month
between March and October on lakes and rivers from New
Jersey to Maryland. Their club meetings are the 2nd
Tuesday of each month, when they discuss upcoming
tournaments, review past tournaments, plan new events and
go over some new fishing techniques & just talk
fishin'. The Club also hosts a very
successful annual youth fishing derby on Glen Lake
(Woodbury Heights) during the first weekend in June.
Prizes are donated by club members, the SJBCA, local
businesses and tackle shops to make this the great success
that it has become. Actively Seeking New Members: Yes - Boaters Line Stretchers Bass Club (Regular

fishing waters in or near Southern New Jersey.
They fish 10-12 tournaments each year. SJ Rod
Benders has the mission of providing a competitive
tournament series that incorporates youth fishermen,
while also emphasizing camaraderie and growth of
skill for all members. Instead of breaking the
field into two brackets (boaters/co-anglers or
adult/youth, they have decided to convert to a
team/buddy format for the 2019 season and
beyond. This means that each boat is a team
competing against the other boats within the club
