I just moved here from Seattle Washington to be closer to my family with my wife and newborn daughter. I'm obsessed with bass fishing. I'm a musician but I don't play as much these days.

My name is Marc Vertin I am relatively new to the Evansville area having moved here approximately 3 years ago from Ventura California. I am an avid freshwater fisherman mainly experience in trout fishing. But also have fished bass, crappie and bluegill but still a novice in this area. I truly love fishing would very much like to be a member of your organization although I have much to learn about bass fishing. I am a retired mortgage broker having run my own business in California for over 22 years. I have been married for 33 years to the same lovely woman and have four children and 10 grandchildren. I currently do independent contracting for the Evansville Courier and Press and work approximately 20 hours a week. I live in Evansville on the Eastside at the Lakeshore Apartments. One of my daughters and her son live in Newburgh and the rest of my children reside in California. I have fallen in love with the Evansville area and in the state of Indiana the people are fantastic and the slower pace of life fits me and my wife well.  I do not own a boat and I hope this does not represent a problem for membership in your organization.   

I am originally from northeast Ohio where I spent every chance I could bass fishing. I was fortunate to get to fish some of the biggest tournaments in the northeast states but I am absolutely looking forward to fishing southern Indiana and Kentucky. I am 39 and divorced with two children. A 17 year-old son Andrew and a 15 year-old daughter Angel. I look forward to meeting everyone in this club and hope to have an enjoyable year.

I have fished most of my life, took a hiatus once I had my first daughter, but this summer they were both able to go and enjoy it with me and it got me back into it. My daughters don't think it is fishing unless they pull in a bass, so I am pretty lucky. Now to get my wife in the same mindset

I do go whenever I can without the kiddos, love fishing and am looking forward to hopefully getting in a few tournaments next year.

Good fishing to all.

I joined the club to see more lakes and take part in some friendly competition. I do fish for bass in stripper pits, but mainly crappie fish at Patoka.

Born in ND. Moved to Calif. in 1985. Started Bass fishing in 2003 again. Been crazy about it ever since. I currently fish in the oldest fishing club in the bay area, the Bassbusters of santa clara. I am moving to Evansville. in april 2011. Hope to find a great club out there. I own a 2006 Ranger Z21 with a 250 hp motor. My Fav. reel is the Core. I'm looking forward to learning how to fish the lakes back east. In calf. there all like 200 to 450 feet deep. except for clear lake avg. dept there is 45 feet. lots of big bass in that lake.

I use to be big into Goose Hunting. I use to go back to ND in Oct. for 2 weeks goose hunting. That was untill I got back into fishing now all my vacation time goes into fishing. Plus hunting in Calif is a joke. Maybe I'll get back into goose hunting when I move to Indiana. I better start cleaning the 10 gauge.

My wifes name is Dana and she supports me in anyhing I do, she's great. People ask me if I have any kids, I tell them I bought a Bass boat so I can't afford kids. It's just me and the wifey my Job and the Fish.

My side hobbie is playing Guitar, been playing since 1983 and I play PRS Guitars. I'm not much into Country Music so I hope nobody shoots me when I get there :-O, I play the harder stuff.
