Should I Start A Club In The Lowcountry

[blackmax135]

I've been wanting to club fish so bad but the only club in my area isn't really for me because the guys that are in it are more on the biggity side im more relaxed and talk to everyone i meet and treat them like family kinda person.  They aren't like that.  But moving on I wanna know what it would take to start a simple club not a tournament based club but just to have fun with people who love to fish and maybe put on our own local tournaments.  Anyone have advice or had luck with things like this im wide open for ideas.

I'd consult law and tax professionals to ensure tax exempt status. I assume you'd need bylaws with specific rules governing membership so as not to have some control over the culture of the club without opening the club or yourselves to discrimination claims. I'd also map out a club charter and define the club's purpose and leadership structure. I'm sure this just scratches the surface but are my observations as a past club member and officer (secretary).

Is there a club in our area? I just got into Bass Fishing, mostly a Catfishing guy myself.. I see you are from Hampton, I am actually right down the road from you in Ehrhardt......I mainly fish the creeks and rivers right now. Of course no boat so I dont get out on the lakes much.

Yes it's Hampton county bassmasters. They don't really fish around here they fish in tournaments with bassmasters. Yea the creeks are flowing with redbreast around here.I stick to lake Warren, Savannah river and all the creeks in the area erhardt to.

I love fishing the savannah river for Large mouth.  Ive never heard of small mouth in the savannah river but theres alot of things no one has ever seen in that river.  Ive never fished the edisto.  Savannah river has excellent fishing if you know how to travel it. Crappie, Bluegill, Redbreast, Stripers, huge Cats,

You caught a mullet in the river hollie crap.  Never saw on of those in fresh water. Little hell is good fishing ive been camping down there a few times and took my john boat and set out lines around the lake.  I went to the river yesterday put in at cohens bluff and flat out put a dent in the population of bream and crappie.  Huge Bream.  Fishing is good right now.  Ive been tearing the redbreast up in swamp walking way back huge redbreast.  Heck we will have to meat up one day and go get us some.

Yeah, at least we were told it is a mullet. Honestly I didnt know what it was when she pulled it in.
Any other good places to bank fish in the area?

 

I included pic of the fish below..

should definatly hook up and blast some fish sometime... I am new to Bassin, so still learning about it and how to do it. But I still love blasting Bream and Cats

Well ill be derned thats a mullet.  Rivers bridge swamp,  Goat hill is excellent if you don't mind walking in the swamp,  coming from erhardt going to hampton after you pass broxton bridge plantation there will be a landing by the bridge on the right excellent fishing down there one side is private but the landing side you can walk back there.  Theres a lake in barnwell you can walk all the way around good bass fishing there.  And Lake warren in hampton.  Its good fishing if you know how to fish it.
