Who We Are

The New Brunswick Sport Fishing Association (NBSFA) is a registered “not for profit” smallmouth bass fishing tournament series that pursues the sport of bass fishing while promoting Catch and Release to increase conservation of our resources for future anglers to enjoy.

Our Association strives to introduce many to the sport of bass angling and ultimately to tournament angling.

We collaborate with private and government agencies to help fund studies on smallmouth bass in our waterways, standardizing tournament rules to increase boater/angler safety and working to improve state-of-the-art fish handling methods to minimize fish mortality at all tournament events.

2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year!

With a revamped schedule, a new event location, and the introduction of the 115HP event, this season is set to be one of our best yet.

The Schedule:
For 2025, we’re hosting four one-day events and one two-day event, including a brand-new stop in Evandale, where anglers will face fresh challenges. The Dennis Wilson Memorial will now be held in Woodstock, alongside our Woodstock two-day event.

We’re also introducing a 115HP tournament, a rare opportunity for anglers to experience competitive fishing with less pressure while enjoying everything the NBSFA has to offer.

Sponsorship & Partnerships:
A huge thank you to our returning sponsors: The Town of Woodstock, Clark Oil, Lucky Strike, Northside Tire, MTB, Minnow Tackle Shop, Power-Pole, The Village of Southern Victoria, Platinum Touch Electric, and Mercury.
We also welcome our new sponsors: Daiwa Canada, Bubba, Livingston Lures, Great Lakes Finesse, FXR Pro Fish, and Costa Glasses—with more to come!

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Daiwa, making us the NBSFA Daiwa Atlantic Series.

Exciting Updates:

• The Minnow Tackle Shop Lunker Award will be given at each one-day event.

• Improved weigh-in procedures with aerated tanks, official weigh-in bags, and a streamlined process to protect fish health.

• Live streaming for all events, so fans can follow their favorite teams.

The season kicks off on Harvey Lake on May 3rd—we can’t wait to see everyone on the water!
