Club History

Twenty years ago SouthShore Bassmasters was organized for members to build friendships in the sport of competitive bass fishing, for experienced members to teach newcomers how to catch bass, and to send qualified members to compete against other clubs in the state fishoffs in hopes of advancing to divisional and national events. Today those goals still remain. We have a good mix of “young guns” and “old veterans” which makes for some enjoyable events.  Good sportsmanship and camaraderie are highly valued qualities we seek in new members. Our two day “end of the season” tournament is usually out of state and always looked forward to by everyone. If you like to fish for Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass in Southeastern Massachusetts as well as New Hampshire, Vermont, and or Maine and have similar goals about bass fishing then we’d like to invite you to join our club.  We have limited openings for boaters and non-boaters alike.
