THE RULE OF 3: We are always required to have 3 people on a boat; this may be two anglers and a boat captain or one angler with an observer and a boat captain. There is no exception to this rule. Even if it is a parent as the boat captain and their child as the angler, an observer must be on the boat. Observers may be another parent within the club, the angler’s parent/guardian, grandparent, sibling, volunteer, etc. as long as there are 3 people on each boat.
-
Federal Safe Sports Act, there MUST be 3 people in each boat. NO exceptions.
-
Boater Safety:
-
Boat Captains need to be over the age of 21
Captains are not allowed to be a guide unless they are a parent of one of the anglers. -
TBF Junior Anglers are NOT permitted to
operate the main engine or drive the boat. Per TBF Rules -
Life Vest must be on and secure whenever the combustion engine is on, with no exceptions! All Children 12 years of age and younger must wear a USCG- approved wearable life jacket while underway on any vessel, its the LAW!
-
At any other time, the combustion engine is on, the Boat Captain must be seated and in full control of the vessel.
-
JUNIOR JERSEY INFORMATION:
We encourage all anglers to wear a Phoenix Junior Bassmasters jersey to help us easily identify our club on the water, during check-in, and at the weigh-in. While wearing the jersey is not required, it would greatly assist us in organization and recognition.
