We practice good conservation ethics with Catch and Release Tournaments and petition State and Federal Legislators to enact Conservation Laws that benefit fishing resources.
Our membership has varied from a low of Ten to as many as Fifty.
Currently we stand at Thirty Members.
For those who may be new to Tournament fishing, they are done with artificial lures only, no live bait is allowed, and are normally scheduled on a Sunday regardless of the weather. Hope you enjoy our Site and if you need more info about our club, please use our Contacts Page. Ray G

It is with deepest regret that Port City Bassmasters announces the loss of one of its members. Billy H. Carris passed away early Sunday morning on June 25th, 2006 in a Pittsburg Hospital where he was undergoing treatment for his recent organ trans-plant. Billy will be fondly remembered and missed by all who had the priveledge of knowing him for his great outlook on life and the fun loving attitude he always brought with him wherever he went. He was a long time member/friend of Port City Bassmasters.
