  • 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.

• To order a TBF jersey for $65 and/or a $75 hoody, click the "JERSEY STORE" button below! The RED jersey is for our junior anglers with the Phoenix Junior Bassmasters logo. You may order your own custom-designed jersey with your own sponsors. However, we ask that you have the PHXJRB logo and TBF logo on the jersey.  TIP: Order your jersey 4 to 6 weeks before the first tournament to allow production and shipping time.
