Our
Mission
The
mission of The Buzzards Bay Anglers Club is to
bring together anglers on our local waters. By
developing relationships and friendships, The Buzzards
Bay Anglers Club will become stronger and
more organized. Come and meet other anglers that
have the same interests as you. Compare
notes and styles. Tie flies. Get a
buddy boat for an offshore trip. Find a
partner to work the canal with.
Get a group together to fish the "hard
water" in January. Attend our monthly seminar series during the winter
months to chase away the "Winter Blues"
and learn from professionals and experts
in their own field. Find out how to
drift that secret spot in Quick's Hole.
Introduce a young person to a favorite
pond in Rochester. We shall
strive to make a difference by educating
the public and expanding our reach. We
will plan local tournaments and social
events, educate our  young anglers,
protect our fisheries and give back to
the community. Most importantly we will
have fun and get out on the water
together.

for you to post pictures of your catch, post and
read fishing reports and come to learn more about
the club and our future events. The club will run
on volunteers and hard work by all of its members
with opportunities for leadership and planning for
the clubs future. The benefits of becoming a member
will grow as time passes with many more opportunities
to come.
