About Our Central Square, Good Ole Boys Junior Bassmasters Club

Submitted by Jeff Edgarton, GOB Junior Bassmaster Youth Director

History

The Good Ole Boys Junior Bassmaster Club was officially founded on January 30, 2007 at the Central Square Fire Station located in the small village of Central Square, NY and received its 501 (c) (3) Federal Tax Exempt certification on April 16,2009.

The Good Ole Boys Junior Bassmasters operates similar in principal to all the other 160 Junior BASS Clubs across the United States and mirrors the identical operational platform of the adult clubs. 

Our GOBJBM club is sponsored by our adult affiliate, the Good Ole Boys Bass Club.  They are a recognized Federation Nation Club and our Youth Director Jeff Edgarton and Senior Advisor Dom Maio are members.  They along with other members act as mentors and educators for our GOBJBM club. 

Many of the how-to clinics conducted monthly include educational workshops on good fishing ethics, catch and release techniques along with habitat and conservation restoration programs.  Our GOBJBM club actively competes in club tournaments, state tournaments and qualified divisional tournaments along with fund raisers, adopt-a-waterway projects, charitable programs and community service projects. 

 

Overview / Summary

Youngsters not only learn how to properly catch fish, but also learn how to manage their own Junior Clubs through parliamentary procedures … through educational workshops … through “how to” clinics and more importantly engage in hands-on activities with their Club Youth Director, other mentors and educators.  

Competition is just one of the many goals for our “Junior Athletes”.  Conservation, habitat restoration, adopting waterways, community service projects, preserving the wholesome recreational sport of fishing and most importantly, having fun!

Leadership is one of the attributes we instill in our youngsters as they control and operate their club and all of the associated activities while the adults are overseeing and guiding their moves. This junior club operates similar to our adult Good Ole Boys Club utilizing the identical format and procedures.  The youngsters are encouraged to bring new ideas to each meeting, discuss them and vote on them to decide if they should be adopted.
