Hey guys, if you would like to get your club posted in our club list all you have to do is email me at leo@fishpittsburgh.com. Most clubs are always looking for new members and this may be the easiest way to accomplish that task.

There is a public meeting regarding Glade Run Lake in Middlesex Township, PA on July 28, 2011 at 6:30 p.m., Middlesex Township Municipal Building, 133 Browns Hill Road, Valencia, PA, 16059. The meeting will be hosted by State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe and State Sen. Jane Orie. The more attendees the better. This is not just a Middlesex Twp problem, but also of surrounding areas. If you can, please attend.

I’m a college angler that over the past few years have really wanted to get more involved in bass tournaments an I think that joining a club would help do that. I’m from the New Castle area, any suggestions would be great.

There are a couple really good clubs for people gettings started into bass fishing. I belong to 2 of them and the memberships are reasonable. One is the West Penn Basshunters. This allows you to fish 14 club events and there is a wide range of skill levels. Another is the Yough River Bass Association (YRBA). This is set up so you have a 2-4 person team to fish their 10 events. On more info for either club email me at leo@fishpittsburgh.com.
