Youth
Welcome!
The Maine B.A.S.S. Federation Nation has a long history of involvement with youth. Fishing derbies, CastingKids, charity
fund raisers, Hooked on Fishing, not on Drugs events, Boy Scout merit programs, the Junior Bassmaster program and the simple act of taking time to take a child fishing are only a few of the many ways the Maine B.A.S.S. Federation Nation is involved with youth each year.
This section of the web site was created to highlight recent and upcoming events and provide information about youth programs and activities. We hope you enjoy the articles, photos and information. If you have any articles, photos, or any ideas how to make this page even better - please drop us a line. Thanks.

Junior Bassmasters Program
One of the most dynamic and exciting opportunities BASS has created for Junior anglers is the Junior Bassmaster World Championship! Just like Mom or Dad competing in the BASS Federation Nation club competitions, this program allows Junior members to compete in a club level, ultimately qualifying for their Junior Bassmaster State Championship.

Casting Kids Program
BASS formed in 1968 to promote and encourage fishing. Recognizing that youngsters are the future of this great sport, BASS took the lead of introducing and educating youth about the sport of fishing. CastingKids comprise the youngest level of all levels of Federation Nation competition. Youth competitors are mentored by Federation Nation anglers and learn the elements that have become the foundation of the Federation Nation membership. Full story / Local Casting Kids Competitions

This is now possible with the newly developed Youth Membership with the built-in Master Angler Program (MAP). This dedicated youth membership is an exclusive membership aimed at making the young angler a Master Angler, good enough to teach Mom or Dad a thing or two. This exciting program is designed to educate young anglers through self-paced home and internet-based training modules. Full Story
