Moderator: Mr. Rod Beckmann\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the bass fishing team is to utilize and to further develop the skills of students interested in competitive sport fishing.  Additionally, students develop an awareness of the benefits of outdoor recreation and the importance of preserving our natural resources.\r\n\r\nWeather permitting in the spring, one or two practices are held each week after school.  The team then participates in the IHSA regional competition, from which the top three teams advance to the IHSA state competition.  Students are responsible for providing their own equipment (fishing gear and life jacket).\r\n\r\nAll Mater Dei students are welcome to join the bass fishing team in the spring.\r\n\r\n
