1st Bassmasters is made up of anglers as concerned with the friendship and camaraderie of Club membership, as they are with the competition of tournaments.
This past season we offered a diverse and exciting Tournament Schedule featuring 12 Club events on 13 different bodies of water. We also held our annual Open Tournament this season on the mighty Hudson River, launching out of Catskill NY.
Several of our members also compete on the State level. Each season the top 6 Club Members in the final standings make up a 6 Man Team which travels to compete against clubs from all around New York State in the NY State BASS Chapter Federation’s Club Team Championship. Our Team finished 7th at the State Championship in 2006.
In addition to tournament fishing, we place an emphasis on conservation, community involvement, and passing our knowledge on to the next generation of anglers. To that end, we have a Junior Division with kids ranging in age from 7-18.
If being a part of this sounds interesting to you, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
