North Carolina's First Bass Fishing Club – Est 1970
And we’re back! The 2025 season kicked off on Hyco Lake with a team event. 18 anglers on 9 teams set out to catch some winter bass. While all succeeded, some did better than others… Zack started the year with a bang bringing the day’s big fish, a 6.34 lunker. That fish anchored the winning […]
Continue ReadingThis year’s awards banquet brought us to a new venue – House of Ribeyes in Oxford. Nearly 40 anglers and guests thoroughly enjoyed the steaks and seafood. The filets melted in your mouth! This year was the genesis of a new event for the club – a TEAM tournament. This naturally yielded a new award: […]
Continue ReadingThe final tournament of the year arrived with blue skies and cooling temps. Saturday the conditions were good, though Sunday they were much tougher. A season champion is crowned – come back for pics in December. Adam won the weekend with 10 fish weighing 23.60 lbs for a solid victory, his 4th of the year. […]
Continue ReadingIt was a beautiful Fall day as the club trekked over to Lake Mayo. Crystal clear water and nearly as clear skies greeted the anglers, along with some ravenous fish. It seemed just about any bait was able to catch fish, with 11 of 16 anglers bringing in a limit. Those anglers weighed 72 fish […]

Skies were forecast to be quite foreboding, but SURPRISE! The weather people got it wrong again. 15 minutes of rain was all we got. The fishing was pretty darned […]

Continue ReadingA recent record of 15 teams (27 anglers) headed “Down East” for the Spring trailer tourney. The fishing wasn’t quite awesome, but those that found them did well. The 15 teams weighed in 208 fish topping 465 lbs over the 2 days. Not bad given the high pressure system and heavy winds hanging over the […]
Continue ReadingThe day was supposed to be a washout, with rain all day, much of it heavy. But once again, and this time in our favor, the weatherman was WRONG! The rain stopped just after blastoff, giving everyone a reprieve. The fishing still wasn’t easy, but some guys figured it out better than others. Adam brought […]
Continue Reading13 anglers made the trip to Lake Jordan hoping to catch some monsters like Hot Rod Johnson in Bait Shop. Unfortunately most ended up starring in a damn spaghetti western – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It was good that we had sunny skies and temps in the 50’s, but was bad that […]
Continue ReadingThe club was very excited and looking forward to our first TEAM tournament in many years; perhaps ever? We chose Hyco since it fishes well in winter and has a launch fee which could be split among the team. Close communication with the Lake Authority left us delighted to know we were the only scheduled […]
