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. Barrington Rod & Reel Club (Regular

Website: gcbassclub.com Profile: This club was formed in 2007 with the goal of promoting sportsmanship, camaraderie, conservation and people from all walks of life involved in fishing. The club fishes 14-16 club tournaments a year. They are associated with the TBF (FLW), they try to participate in team tournament events as much as their schedule allows. Most of their members fish a larger trail during the season and are more than happy to get other members involved. There is a large network of bass fishermen in South Jersey and they use this to share information with our members and others. They are constantly trying new ideas and welcome any that any member may have. Ultimately, fishing should be fun and even a stress reliever or couple hour get-away.

Profile: Kickin' Bass is a fairly
new club 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: No Limits & Lunkers Bass Club (Regular

November 1994) Contact: Chris Woltman at 856-237-4858 E-Mail: lunkerhunters@hotmail.com Website: www.lunkerhunters.org Profile: Lunker Hunters was formed unofficially a long time ago, with the founder's close fishing buddies. They are a great group of guys who love to bass fish with artificial lures! They have a few boats in the club and always try to get everyone on a boat, so not many (if any) have to fish from land. Their goals are to have fun, hang out, learn new lakes, and introduce new fishing holes to members. They are always looking for new members. They just ask if you have a boat with an open seat, let a member ride along. Their club is not like many others; they have no obligations. They base eveything on a point system where every inch over 12" is a point. They do a participation point for showing up, and also a lunker point for the longest bass caught. They have 3 tourneys for double points: the Bass Bowl, the Fall Classic and the Gobbler Classic. Any other questions feel free to contact us or check out the website.

Rising Sun Bassmasters (Regular Member
- SJBCA Member since 1995) Based in: Riverside, Burlington County, NJ Contacts: Adam Mihara at saltsipher@yahoo.com Website: www.riversidebassclub.net Profile: This club was started in 2006. It was founded because they didn't want the pressures of a long tournament schedule and having to fish every week to stay competitive in a points race. They hold between 9-13 regular season tournaments from April to September and a Classic Finale in October. They fish an individual-based format. They have one mandatory meeting per year, held in January and a short, informal meeting at the end of each tournament. Not a lot of politics, just a bunch of buddies having a good time fishing.

They hold only 10 individual tournaments (on Saturdays) from March through November. Paper tournaments are held during the closed season. This allows those who have active family lives or want to fish public tournaments without conflicting with their club tournaments to do so. No politics, just good old fishing. Non-Boaters are welcome as long as space is available. Adopt-a-Lake Location: Maple Lake WMA Actively Seeking New Members: No South Jersey Hawg Hunters (Regular
