I am looking to see if there are any Bass fishing clubs/organizations in or around Northeastern MA. I am located in the suburbs outside of Boston, and am looking to hopefully join a club as a non-boater for recreation and tournament fishing. I am 22(23 in a month) and I am currently a college student. I am a long time passionate angler, and have been involved in the sport of fishing since I was a little kid. I fished my first local Bass Derby at a local pond when I was 12.

I enjoy *** types of fishing, but Bass fishing was my first and biggest passionate when it comes to rods and reels. Up until now I have always just fished local ponds from shore or from a small aluminum row boat for fun.

I am looking to take the next step and start fishing lakes and resoviors and enter tournaments just to see how I do. Fishing is a huge passion of mine and I'm getting bored of fishing the same old ponds from the same old spots on shore.

Check out the following link. Click on the tab on the left called 'Officers and Clubs" then find a local club that is looking for non boaters. I'd invite you to join our club but we are out of Plymouth and you are on the North Shore.  Joining a Bass fishing club is a great way to learn and get onto the big lakes here in New England.

Thanks Matt. I actually did check that site out a easrlier this year and got in touch with a couple of guys out of Woburn Mass. Its less than a half hour away, and I'm familiar with the town because I have an Aunt who lives there. The clubs name is American Eagle Bass Anglers. I actually just wrote the guy back again today since I have been busy with school and work, fishing was sort of pushed down on the list of priorities.

But like you said, I really want to get into one to meet other passionate anglers, and get onto some bigger bodies of water as a non-boater.

cartopper club on the northshore.  fished a few tourney's with them, good guys and good fun.  hope to do a few more of them next year.  If you ever want to head out I'm just over the boarder  

Thanks for the link lethal. I might take you up on going out on the water some time. I used to go up to NH a lot with friends growing up because a couple of them had summer houses up there, and I did a little bit of fishing, but I was young and dumb. I would love to fish up there now knowing what I know. I love NH, I grew up in the burbs close to urban areas, and getting away to the woods and water is a blessing from God.

not a problem, I have licenses for both states and know a few good spots for big fish.  

Where do you go to school, I'm finishing my final semester at UNH (5th year sucks).  23 and live on the lamprey river  

I'm 23 too, I am a Junior at Salem State College. I still have a few mmore semesters to go cuz I changed majors a couple of times. Better late then never.

I'm trying to get invoilved with a Bass fishing club I contacted a while back, but I haven;t heard back from them. I would like to start to get involved with tournament fishing and make the old fishing outings a little bit more exciting then just casting from the bank into ponds.

my email is jwo1124@yahoo.com JUst drop me a line sometime and we can keep in touch.
