About us

The Marcus High School Bass Club exists to promote the sport of bass fishing, and to encourage students to develop both their academics and their character.

Marcus High School Bass Fishing Club

The Marcus Bass Fishing Club is a new club beginning in the 2015-16 school year. The club is open to any Marcus students in grades 9-12 who are interested in and enjoy the sport of bass fishing.

Bass fishing is fun and just about anybody can do it! Fishing gets people outside and teaches them about the environment, while having fun at the same time.

Fishing has a science behind it that anglers need to know in order to catch fish. For example, what the fishing are eating, how the fish are acting, and where the fish are at.

Fishing is a sport that requires the angler to never stop learning and adapting to what the fish need.

You do not need a boat to join our Club - just an interest in fishing!

Tournament Information

Teams of 1 to 2 anglers from the Club can participate in tournaments throughout the year. There is no limit to the number of teams our club can send to a tournament!

While you don't need a boat to join the Club, you or a teammate do need one for tournaments
Tournaments will be scheduled throughout the year and are organized by the Texas High School Bass Association (www.texashighschoolbassassn.com) or other reputable state/local governing bodies in the sport of fishing

Teams can be made up of 1 or 2 anglers in the same boat as long as they are members of our officially sanctioned Club
You will also need a parent or responsible adult age 21 or older to serve as a boat captain in any tournment; the boat captain does not fish but is responsible for the safety of the student anglers
Most tournaments are on a Saturday - check our "Schedule" page for updates
Be sure to attend club meetings, where we will discuss pre-tournament registration and other requirements; most tournaments charge an entry fee of $20 per boat
