The Fish-On Fishing Club of New Port Richey originated to promote the social gathering of Local Fishing Enthusiasts and to share knowledge with each other. We promote good sportsmanship, fellowship, conservation, improved angling skills, teaching children to fish, and the mutual exchange of ideas to further angling enjoyment.
The Club holds monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM at The American Legion, 5329 Legion Pl., New Port Richey, FL 34652. Guest are welcome.
This one-page information sheet is intended to give prospective members a short version of what our club and members do throughout the year. Most of the information on this sheet is described in great detail on this website.
Fishing Activities:
Education: Monthly meeting includes a fishing education segment. We usually have a guest speaker. Speakers include professional fishing charter captains, professional guides, or Club members. Topics include techniques, strategies, tackle, and skills used to increase fishing knowledge.
Tournaments (3 Tournaments this year): for only a $10.00 entry fee you test your skill to see if you can win cash prizes paid for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places for each species divisions Species usually include redfish, trout, snook, kingfish, grouper, Spanish mackerel, etc.
Monthly Targeted Species Tournament: Each month a fish species is targeted and during the month members who catch that species can record the size. At the monthly meeting, members report their catch and the member with the largest catch receives a certificate and is entered in a drawing for a cash prize at the “After The Holidays Club Party”.
Year-Long Tournament: Here you can enter as many species as you would like for a chance to will cash prizes handed out at our annual After Holiday Party.
Members fishing with members: All members are encouraged to invite other members to fish with them. We try to make this easier by having each member complete a member fishing profile that is available in the “Members Only area” on our website www.FishOnClub.org
Community involvement includes:
Anclote Kid’s fishing derby is where we help the Holiday Recreation center host another children’s outing.
