About South Jersey Rod Benders
Our Mission
South Jersey Rod Benders consists of a group of friends/anglers with one common goal in mind - to improve our abilities as anglers in this sport that we mutually enjoy. Our tournaments are held in a way that fosters friendly competition among one-another, while keeping that goal of improving our angling skills in mind.
How Our Club Works
SJ Rod Benders' tournaments are held in a relaxed climate and can be viewed as a mix between competitive fishing and fun fishing. Our tournaments consist of 12-20 anglers, half of which are boaters and the other half co-anglers. We break the field into two brackets, adults and youth. This allows our youth anglers, 16 years and under, to fish against one-another directly. Our club consists of boaters fishing from jon boats, crawdads, and bass boats.
Yearly membership dues are $20, which goes towards trophies/medals as well as equipment (weigh scales, etc). Tournament entry fee is $15 per angler, of which $5 of all adult and youth entry fees go toward the lunker pool, and the remaining $10 is split 60/40 for 1st and 2nd place of each bracket, adult and youth.
Tournaments run from 7 am to 12 pm on the dates listed on our schedule page. We fish tournaments with a 3 fish limit per angler, meaning that your three best bass of the day will count towards your final weigh-in. At the end of a tournament, all boats will return to the launch ramp and begin pulling out of the lake. Once all boats are trailered, we weigh each anglers catch; award prizes; and discuss the day's fishing, exchanging tips and advice.
