How to find a fishing club near you

Tap Use my location above to see approved clubs within 100 miles, or filter by state and club type. If nothing shows up yet, ask around offline too. The counter at your local tackle shop, the marina office, and the bulletin board at the boat ramp are where most clubs recruit. Your state fish and wildlife agency's site is also worth a look for local angling groups.

Types of fishing clubs

Saltwater fishing clubs

Inshore, offshore, pier and surf. Saltwater clubs are the easiest way to learn local water and to find people with a boat, or crew for yours.

Bass clubs

Usually built around regular club tournaments and weekend lake trips. Good for sharpening technique against anglers who fish the same water.

Cleanups, habitat work and stocking days, for anglers who want to give back to the water they fish.
