Been browsing this website for awhile and have enjoyed the topics.
I'm thinking about joining the club and was wondering if Bass Boats are required??? I have a Jet boat and have been an avid Salmon and Steelhead fisherman all my life.  But I think I can beat that Mr. Holmes on Lake Washington! (Gotcha Kirk)
All replies welcomed.

Hi Coyote,

I hope you get a chance to come check out the club sometime We might be a bunch of rabid bass anglers with sparkle-boats (for the most part), but your boat would fit in just fine. And like Faz said, there are always people to backseat with.

I know you can beat Mr. Holmes on Lake Washington! How do I know this? Because he isn't man enough to fish on the west side anymore!!! If the lake doesn't have a canyon wall, sand dune, or tumbleweed nearby, he is dead lost! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Love ya, Kirk.

Ah, seems the hot stove league is firing up again this winter.  It would be great having the Coyote around this year.  Great addition to the Club, and a damn fine angler to boot.  I know he can throw a worm and spinnerbug.  He is not as green as he appears on his post.  A man after my own taste:)!!!  BTW Chris, I am proud to enjoy the tumbleweeds, rock canyons, and sand dunes much more than cranky property owners who think that they own the entire public water ways.  Not wearing kevlar allows for a more enjoyable fishing experience!!!!

Sure do...  John.  Thats funny that word has arisen again, "Slimmer". I met a lady this past summer that told me about your club, the first thing outa her mouth was, "Your a slimmer!" LOL...
Anyways looking forward to joining the club and meeting everybody.  Never no, this slimmer might beable to give you "Rabid Bass Anglers" a run for your money

P.S. Anytime for that steelheading trip, I go every weekend!

Ok slimer fisherman, (John) looks like you can take it... you'll fit right in!
   About your boat...it's a boat! therefore you float! that puts you ahead of the game when it comes to fishing. lots of us don't.
   I would like to join you some weekend. Whats runnin?

As the guys have pointed out - no boat required.  And any boat accepted.  Although the guys with the fancy fiberglass boats are proud of them (let's face it - they're nice) the fact is boats don't catch fish.  Too many of us who have been in the club for awhile have seen backseaters and folks in aluminum boats kick butt at the tourneys!  Flat bottom, V-hulled, wood, aluminum, or fiverglass - if they can get you on the water - you're in like Flint!  Anglers not boats catch fish.  And while we tease alot about trout fishermen, you have all the skills needed to adjust to a new species - even a superior species like bass!  Come to the next meeting, we've got a good speaker coming and a great group of guys!

Yup still out here!  I'm in the process of rigging my new boat!   I had to upgrade to an alumaweld 20' SuperVee with a 200 Mercury and the new T8 yamaha with eletric start and tilt!  She is a bueaty!!  Were chasing Springers on the Columbia this weekend, nailed a 15 pounder Sunday!  I'll give you a holler.
