About The Lakeland Bassmasters
The Lakeland Bassmasters is the largest federated club in the world! Currently, we have 155 members. Our club offers unique opportunities for the experienced angler and those new to tournament bass fishing. Members have the opportunity to fish with and against some of the most experienced anglers in Central Florida. For those new to the sport, you will rapidly gain knowledge on all facets of bass fishing by fishing with the best. For our tournament schedule, select Tour Schedule on the home page.
The Lakeland Bassmasters offer more than tournament fishing. We are actively involved in conservation, youth and special events in the Central Florida. Our efforts in these areas have been recognized with awards for youth activities, conservation, special events and club of the year in the Southeastern Region of BASS. In addition, we have won a BASS National Award for our efforts with youth in our Fishing For The Future Tournament for children of Big Brothers & Big Sisters and The Good Shepherd Hospice.
