USJ Bass Fishing Team

 The Bass Fishing Team offers a unique extracurricular activity for young anglers. Under the leaders of advisor Chuck Jones, the club has 14 students that make up seven two person teams. The club continues to see a growing interest in competitive fishing each year and is committed to fostering both skill and a passion for the sport among its members.

Open to all students with a desire to fish competitively, the club welcomes beginners and experienced anglers alike. It emphasizes accessibility, requiring only a willingness to learn and a dedication to improving. Throughout the school year, the team organizes fishing days at various lakes, providing students with the chance to hone their techniques in diverse environments. These activities prepare members for the challenges of competitive tournaments while also instilling patience and adaptability - qualities essential both on and off the water. The team competes in at least four tournaments annually as part of the West Tennessee Regional circuit within the Tennessee Bass Nation High School and youth organization. The local events serve as gateways to higher levels of competition.

With continued growth, dedicated mentorship, and strong community support, the Bass Fishing Team is poised to make waves - both locally and nationally - in the years to come.
