Welcome
to Leesville Bassmasters
of
Raleigh, North Carolina
Established
in 1975, the Leesville Bassmasters is one of the oldest bass clubs in North
Carolina. The club was founded by a group of dedicated bass anglers with
a common vision of what competitive bass fishing is all about. They believed
that tournament fishing should be based on the following principles:
- First
and foremost, the primary objective of our club should be to foster
the love of the sport of bass fishing.
- Tournament
fishing should be conducted as a friendly, open competition based on
the spirit of fair play, integrity and sportsmanship. To encourage this
spirit, the club does not conduct money tournaments.
- Club
membership should be open to novice and experienced anglers alike. Sharing
techniques and experiences will make us all better anglers and help
to interest others in the sport of bass fishing.
- Finally,
and most importantly, tournament fishing should be fun!
Our
club continues to abide by these principles today.
One
thing that sets the Leesville Bassmasters apart from many other clubs is
that we do not conduct money tournaments. Our philosophy is that the emphasis
in club tournaments should be on fun and fellowship. We have found that
it is sometimes hard to maintain that spirit when money is involved. We
award trophies for the winners of each monthly tournament as well as yearly
trophies for the top six fisherman and big fish.
Our
club is always looking for new members, including non-boaters. If you are

Good fishing!
