The Dunnville Bassmasters of Dunnville Ontario is a local, non-profit bass fishing club. The club was formed to engage in competitive bass fishing among our members for the purpose of sharing knowledge about the sport, sportsmanship, and fair play on and off the water . We compete for fun and to improve our skill as bass anglers. The club has both novice and experienced anglers of all ages. We are located in Dunnville Ontario, and have members from Dunnville, Cayuga, Hamilton and Port Colborne and other communities surrounding the Dunnville area. For the novice bass angler, being a member of the Dunnville Bassmasters is an excellent way to learn about bass fishing and greatly improve your angling skills. All members are willing to help each other and share their knowledge and experience with you. The experienced bass angler can also benefit from being a member. You will always have someone to fish with, you will have an opportunity to share what the sport has given you with others and promote the sport of bass fishing. Plus, even the experienced angler can learn something new from others.
We accept members who do not own their own boat, although that is dependent on the current make-up of our club to ensure that everyone has a ride in the tournament. There is a nominal $30.00 entry fee for each monthly tournament. Payouts are awarded after each tournament for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes plus a payout for big bass. The top anglers, based on their accumulated points for the season, are awarded trophies at our annual banquet in January. The tournament sites for the upcoming season are voted on by the club membership. We fish several different lakes near the Dunnville Ontario area, and a couple within four hours on occasion. By fishing a variety of lakes, the members become better anglers by learning to fish different waters under various conditions.
We are affiliated with the Bass Angler Sportsman's Society (B.A.S.S.) and send a team each year to the regional Federation Tournament and, hopefully, on to the Northern Championship tournament. From there, the top fisherman have a shot at going all the way to the Bassmaster Classic!
