Fishing Clubs?

[WalleyeWiper]

Anyone have experience with any of the local fishing clubs (Rocky Mountain Anglers, bass federation, etc...)? Wondering if they are a little laid back or too hard core with attitudes. I am more a competitor than an expert fisherman, but thought it might be a way to learn how to catch more fish and get an added adrenaline rush. []

I have been a member of bolth the RMA and utah bass federation.

Bolth organizations have a wide range of personalities in them.

Some guys are the greatest and very easy to get long with. Some guys are very intense and have agendas.

If you join a group, the success of your expirience seems to be what you make of it. Theres enough great guys in bolth organizations to make it one of the best expiriences of your life, make new friends and learn a ton. But it requires that you get involved and seek out the guys who are there for the same aspects you are.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2]I joined RMA for a season just to see if I could learn how to beter catch fish. I didn't end up learning as much as I thought I would but is did learn that the best way to learn how to fish was simply spending time on the water and asking folks who seemed to be successfull. The RMA guys are quite good at what they do and several of them were very willing to "take me under their wing" and give me what info they could. But one of the biggest kicks I got out of RMA was that many of the Doug Miller shows would highlight many of the regular RMA guys. As I watch those shows, I often remember fishing with many of them and even recognize their boats. I know, that's a pretty lame reason for having enjoyed fishing with them but so what. Their club meetings were quite informative with many different personalities showing up. That would make for some interesting conversations. They are very good at helping their members get involved in understanding the local fisheries and helping to improve them ... not just fish them. I stoped paying dues and attending because I found that BFT was bay far the easiest and least expensive way to quickly get information on how to catch fish. And there always seems to be room in someone's boat to accomidate another BFTer who would like to learn from others out on the water.

I would strongly recomend that you participate in RMA for at least one season. You will learn much and probably gain a better understanding for our fisheries and the DWR's efforts to keep those fisheries properly maintained. It's all good.[/size][/font]

Thanks guys. i just wanted to be sure it wasn't one of those things where you show up at a meeting and everything stops, and they all look at you like "what is he doing here?". I have been interseted in RMA after one of their walleye seminars I went to about three years ago, just never made it. I think I will make it a new years resolution, to join a club, meet more people, and try and learn a boat load (that was a little cheezier than I intended). Anyway, thanks for the encouragement.[]
