Welcome to the offical Arkansas B.A.S.S. Federation web site
I would be willing to join/like to join a local bass club so could you post any info you get on this.
Thanks
Tom
The club up here was Craighead County Bassmasters and I am not for sure if it is still operational.
Cacheriver6,
I did some emailing and found out there is a local BASS club that meets here in Jonesboro.
They are called craighead county bassmasters. I emailed the local chairman and here is what he replied:

Thanks. I appreciate it.
we really don't like to resort to clubs up here. Seems cruel. We stick to polefishing.

We do not fish for money, therefore club and tournament fees are very reasonable. We practice "catch and release". We currently have around 15 active members. You do not have to own a boat in order to become a member. We are as much a brotherhood as a bass club, and are always looking for good people. If this sounds like something that you might be interested in please send me an email.
Thanks, David
David,
I have been in touch with victor ( craighead county bassmasters) through email and got a few questions answered. I was unable to make the last meeting, So Ihope to catch the next months meeting.
