The Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association is the grassroots umbrella organization in Alabama leading the way for the development of student angler bass fishing clubs that combines the sport of bass fishing in a way that promotes angler education by passing along traditions associated with the thrills of the outdoors on our great Alabama rivers and lakes. The Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association is dedicated to the recruitment and successful development of tomorrow’s future anglers to excel in the areas of leadership, personal, professional, and educational development while fostering an appreciation of the great outdoors and the love of bass fishing as a sport through competitive tournaments, activities, and contests.
The Association promotes the necessary skills and professional experience of our student anglers to position them for future leadership positions and the friendly spirit of competition that they will need in later life. We also encourage the student angler to protect and promote the preservation of the sport of fishing’s natural resources, participate in community conservation projects and initiatives, and provide a social atmosphere for interaction with peers in a competitive environment that will build confidence for the future.
