Welcome to our web site.
The 2011 fishing season is now history, so we are looking forward to the 2012 season. At this time we are looking for 4 or 5 boaters and non- boaters. Please contact our president, Duane Poole if interested.
We are a group of fishermen who first of all enjoy fishing, and second, enjoy sharing our knowledge with other fishermen.
First established as a small group of 8 fishermen in Fulton NY in the mid 1980's, the club has grown to now having 75+ members. To make launching manageable, we hold our membership to 30 "active" members who will be fishing on a regular basis. The 40 plus other members are fishing in the BASS northern circuit, Bass Master "Elite" series (non-boater), N.Y.S. BASS Federation events, Anglers Choice, and other clubs where the payouts are larger. These members do enter our tournaments from time to time when ever they have a open weekend, and thereby bring back some very useful and up to date information.
We like to consider ourselves as an "entry level" or "teaching" club. Now by no means does that mean that our fisherman are inexperienced. What that does mean is that we share our expertise with all members. Now, we won't baby sit you when we are fishing, but all members will gladly share their tackle, etc when we are fishing, and after every tournament we usually meet for lunch somewhere where we discuss that days fishing. Every member is welcome to have lunch with us and share in the experience of the day.
Our winning member must at the end of the day show us the lure that worked the best for him that day and then tell us the type of structure that he worked. He does not have to tell us the actual place, just the type of structure.
Our club is a member of the N.Y.S. BASS Federation, we also sponsor a Junior Bassmasters club, "The GOB Junior Bassmasters". Our members also donate their time and boats to take the Juniors fishing for their state tournament.
We meet at RFH's Hide-a-way on Route 57, 2 miles north of Phoenix NY. We only have meetings during January, February, March and April each year. This is when we get all the business end of the club done, and then we go fishing. Meetings are held on Sunday evenings and are set up to avoid "big weekends" (Super bowl. NASCAR etc) If anything needs to be addressed during the year, we conduct a short meeting at the next fishing tournament. Contact President Duane Poole for the next meeting date or to join our club.
Please enjoy our website. And regardless if you are a seasoned fisherman, or a weekend warrior, be sure to check out the winning lures and techniques that is posted at the end of each tournament. ( Because sometimes it becomes busy at the weigh-in, we forget to take the picture and document the winning technique.)
