Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA)
The Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA) was formed to create a national, unified voice for the country's collegiate anglers, through an affiliation with the BoatU.S National Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship and related programs. The organization has been made possible by a joint effort among The Bass Federation Inc. (TBF), Careco Multimedia, and a host of supporting companies. With nearly 30,000 members across 47 states, TBF is the nation's oldest and largest organized national fishing group.
The ACA is a "federation" under the TBF umbrella, having its own board of directors, by-laws, and benefits. Included in the benefits are club insurance coverage, access to conservation and equipment grants and more.
Any school-sanctioned fishing club with at least six members can join the ACA. The ACA annual membership fee is $40 per member. With memberships come benefits, for the club and each member. ACA memberships for the first 1,000 collegiate fishing-active members to sign up each year will receive complimentary memberships, courtesy of an anonymous donor. To sign up your club and its members, please complete and e-mail this form to mike@carecotv.com.
