The Club holds monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 PM at the American Legion,  5329 Legion Pl., New Port Richey Prior to the business part of the meeting, we have a fishing education segment. We usually have a guest speaker. Our guest speakers include professional fishing charter captains, professional guides, or Club members. Topics include techniques, strategies, tackle, and skills used to increase fishing knowledge. Also, at each meeting, there is a 50/50 raffle and an attendance raffle.  A newsletter and calendar are mailed to each member monthly in order to keep everyone apprised of Club information and upcoming events. We also assist with local kids’ fishing events and Officiate other Fishing Tournaments as needed.

If you have any questions concerning the club, website, or fishing reports please call our club president at 727-753-9036 or reach him at fish-on-fishingclub1@hotmail.com.

The Club holds monthly fishing tournaments every month with cash payouts. Usually, these tournaments are for species including redfish, trout, snook, kingfish, grouper, Spanish mackerel, etc. These tournaments are for members only and are funded solely by member dues.

We want all members to enjoy the sport of fishing. If there is any way a member or any officer or board member can help in this effort, Just  ASK !!!  Maybe it’s asking which bait is best or what knots work best. No questions are considered trivial, as we want you to catch fish and enjoy the camaraderie with other members. We are a social group with many members who are retired and fish during the week. It’s great if you have a boat, however, you do not have to own a boat to be a member. All members receive a listing of all the members in the club and hope you will be able to fish with a number of them, whether it is on your boat or theirs!

Membership dues are only $35.00 a year, due in December. The membership is for your family which includes you and your spouse/significant other and children under the age of 18 living in your household.  There is a one-time $20 Initiation fee when you join in addition to the $35 dues. There are Fishing button-up shirts, Tee Shirts, Hats, and Patches with the Club logo for sale on our website which can order at any time. The link to this merchandise page is on the members-only page. To help with your decision the vice president of the club has the merchandise at the meeting so that you can determine the size and quality of the merchandise.  You can order by going to the merchant’s website or place of business.
