The San Diego Bassmasters, the
oldest and largest bass fishing club in San Diego County, was also the
first B.A.S.S. Chapter in San Diego County and the third in California.
We welcome anyone who is
interested in bass fishing to attend one of our monthly meetings. Meetings
are held on the first Tuesday of the month and begin promptly at 7:00 PM.
The meetings are held at Oakdale Heights Retirement Center MAP
There are no prerequisites for membership other than basic fishing skills
and a love of fishing. Persons without boats are welcome.
The San Diego Bassmasters fish 10
tournaments per year, which count towards our year-end awards. These awards
are presented during our annual Awards Banquet. We typically fish three or
four of our tournaments at lakes outside of San Diego County. These "out
of town" tournaments may include the lower Colorado River, Lake
Havasu, Lake Mead, and lakes in Arizona such as Alamo and Roosevelt. The
remaining tournaments are fished locally, and may include one or two night
tournaments.
In addition to fishing, the San
Diego Bassmasters hold a number of family orientated events each year.
These events may include Padres baseball night, a family fishing
tournament, a fish fry, a chili cook-off, a Tournament of Champions and a
picnic. These events promote a sense of family to the club, which accounts
for its many long-term members. Many members are celebrating memberships in
excess of 25 years!
The San Diego Bassmasters have
participated in many community activities over the years. For example,
since 1985, the San Diego Bassmasters collected food and donations for El
Cajon’s Crisis House, which aids families in need of emergency assistance.
Last year’s contribution was valued at over six thousand dollars. The Club
also makes an annual college scholarship award to a deserving student who
is a member or part a members family.
