Who We Are – The Oakland County Bass Anglers is a Michigan fishing club made up of sportspeople who are not only interested in bass fishing, but the promotion of our sport through friendly, competitive tournaments and the teaching of angling techniques to our members. Our membership ranges from 25 – 30 members each year, and includes men and women, adults and junior members (14-17 years old), and boat owners and non-boat owners alike.
Tournaments – This year, our Michigan bass fishing club will have 1) one “catch and release” tournament, 2) one “team” tournament, 3) eight individual “points” tournaments, 4) a two-day “Classic” tournament, and 5) a year-end tournament. Points tournaments are open to club members only, but a guest may fish with prior approval. Our catch and release tournaments are open to anyone (non-members) who fish with a club member. Non-boat owning members are paired with a boat owner for each tournament. Our tournaments are low key, and we stress sportsmanship and fun for all. You can see our events schedule here.
Meetings – Club meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at Bass Pro Shops, 4500 Baldwin Rd., Auburn Hills, MI 48326. During the fishing season we recap each tournament, and discuss where and how fish were caught. During the winter months, we have guest speakers and plan the upcoming fishing season. Please contact us before attending a meeting.
Costs – Annual $75 membership dues, mostly covering the member’s banquet meal and trophy costs. Dues are half-price for “junior” members under 18 years old. The only other required cost is the nominal rider’s fee ($10-$15) for non-boat owners, for each tournament, to help share boating expenses.
Awards Banquet – Annual member banquet held at the close of the fishing season, usually in October. A full meal is served and trophies are awarded at the banquet.
Trophies – Trophies are awarded to 1st place finishers in each of the club tournaments along with other club categories. Patches are also awarded.
By-Laws – Our club is governed by by-laws that have been developed over the years.
New Members – The Oakland County Bass Anglers are always looking for new members. If you would like to hear more about our Michigan fishing club, email us on our contact page. Download a membership application and bring it to the next meeting! Please contact us before attending a meeting.
