I am making a move in the next 4 months from Central PA to the Raleigh-Durham, NC area because my love of bass fishing has turned into an ever-growing passion and a huge part of my life. I know after reading that last sentence some already think I am in pursuit of a professional bass fishing career.. and although its a dream for most of us, that is NOT my goal. My goals for this move is to be in a warmer area more conducive for bass fishing, network with other anglers, learn as much as I can about how to successfully catch em', and fish local tourneys (at least to start). To get a feel of what level of angler I am, I would consider myself at an moderate to advanced skill level and fished only a couple club tournaments so far up in PA. I planned on fishing every local tournament this year with my current club, but.. well.. I'm hoping to get my 2015 deposit back! I wanted to throw a post up because I am looking for some help on what to expect, good local bass clubs, resources, or anything else to help me out before getting on the water. I've done some research about the surrounding lakes and its awesome to see all the water within a 30 minutes' drive. As you may know, in Central PA, (other than the Susquehanna River) it takes hours to get to a waterway the size of Falls or Jordan. Other than the 3 obvious Falls, Jordan, and Harris, I saw others such as Randleman and John H. Kerr around an hour's drive away. So any other recommendations on preferred waterways in the area would be a huge help. And just for more specifics, I'll be living in Durham and will be hauling along my 14' aluminum Tracker with a 15hp prop and 55lb thrust electric. So when it comes to lakes, it would be nice to know which waterways or areas where it could be unsafe to run my little rig. Not that I can't handle some turbulence, I just don't want to get myself into a bad situation if I can help it. All in all, I'm just looking to enjoy this experience and do some serious bass fishing while learning all I can. So any help would be much appreciated!

Looking for bass clubs near joco ks

Hey guys im sort of new to bass fishing (heavily fishing last 3 months). I was wondering what are the best ways to find guys who are looking for a back boater. I have thought about a club but the only club i know of in my area meets while I'm at work. Are there any forums or places for a shore fisherman like me to start getting onto the back of a boat. Any help would be greatly appreciated .. P.S. I live in the SF Bay Area.

I'm 16 almost 17 and I really want to join a bass fishing club. I have looked into it but I don't know what to look for. I want one that is near the metro. Can you tell me any good bass clubs that are near me? Thanks

Me and a buddy are looking to join a local bass club. We dont own a boat so we would be fishing as non boaters or co anglers. Doesnt have to be like the BASS Federation Nation or anything. Just a local club so we can get the feel of competing and being in the back of the boat. Not to mention the amount of knowledge and experience we will gain. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
