Eastern Iowa Youth Bassmasters

 For more than a decade, Eastern Iowa Youth Bassmasters has been a beacon for youth bass fishing enthusiasts in the Cedar Rapids area. As a non-profit club, we welcome young anglers aged 10 through high school seniors who aspire to take their fishing skills to the next level. As an official B.A.S.S. club and a youth division of Iowa B.A.S.S. Nation, our members are eligible to compete at the B.A.S.S. state and national tournaments.

Our competitive tournament season kicks off in April, with monthly tournaments through October. Additionally, we hold monthly meetings dedicated to conservation, community involvement, and educating our members about the intricacies of bass fishing.

We take immense pride in our club, as many of our anglers have progressed to the National B.A.S.S. competition and collegiate fishing teams. Thanks to our incredible sponsors, we award trophies and prizes at every tournament, and the team enjoys a well-deserved lunch after their time on the water. As we look ahead to the 2026 season, we are excited to see what new members, and big bass, are to come! Our founder, Sarah, has had a love for fishing since she was a little girl. She grew up fishing with her dad and grandpa, and those memories have stuck with her ever since. When she started Eastern Iowa Youth Bassmasters, she wanted to share that love and passion with others and create a community of fellow fishing enthusiasts.
