FISH ON BASS ANGLERS - ABOUT US

Our Mission...
"Fish-On" Bass Anglers, located in Montgomery County Maryland, is a gathering of bass anglers committed to providing a fun, social and learning club. Our members work to provide an environment for both beginner or experienced anglers.

Who we are...
"Fish-On" Bass Anglers is a non-affiliated club located in Montgomery County, Maryland with an array of diversified anglers. "Fish-On" Bass Anglers promotes the ideas of angling with the attitude of "sharing knowledge" and set about building an organization where the ideals and mission would be the first priority of membership.

How we operate...
"Fish-On" Bass Anglers meet once a month at Dick's Sporting Goods in Gaithersburg, MD. Meetings provide anglers with an opportunity to socialize, share and learn. The location was chosen so members could teach and be taught with hands-on fishing gear.
