rocknfish9001 Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 i am interested in joining a bass club, but i dont know how to go about getting into one. Ive tried e-mailing them, but they never reply. I live in southwest michigan, in berrien county. I am 15 years old, so i cant drive, and i dont have a boat. I would appreciate it if somebody would give me some advice on joining a club, how to get in, etc. thanks Quote
BASSMAN1301599783 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Look for a youth fishing club in your area. If you can't find one start your own. Just make up flyers and ask the manager at your local tackle shop if you can post it in the window. Quote
rocknfish9001 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 What would you do in starting one? Do you need any money? How would i get my club registered, etc. Quote
BASSMAN1301599783 Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Im not sure how to go about geting your club registered. And I dont think you would need money, exept to fish. I would just see if you can get some guys your age together. Post flyers up at your school saying something like, "if you like to fish stop by the cafeteria after school on this day". then make up a sheet telling people what you want to do with your club, what its about stuff like that. Pass them out to people if they come by.Or im sure you could ask a teacher or your guidence counsler to help you out. I would go about it as, you are just looking for some fishing buddys. Then if you get enough people interested you could get a small tournement going. Say everybody puts in five bucks. if you got five guys to buy in thats 25 bucks to the winner. Just do fun stuff like that. Hope this helps. ;D Quote

Cody Kupferschmidt Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I am also only 15. This past summer I fished the CFT Super Series as an Amatuer in the Pro/Ams. It was a great way to learn, and I ended up finishing 9th overall, much better than I expected. If you can't find a club t join, I suggest fishing a Pro/Am. You can learn so much from the pros.
