Surfcasting/Striper Clubs

[chefchris401]

Was interested in joining a surfcasters/striper club.

looking for club thats stands behind what they believe in, no drama, is run right, no bs, a club thats made up of people you would actually want to fish with.

I dont have a boat or really like fishing from a boat so looking more a surfcasting club I guess.

Looking to expand my knowledge and grow as fisherman and fish with like minded people.

any suggestions??? or clubs I should stay away from?

Thanks in advance, you can always PM me if youd like and keep things private.

I'm curious ,, What are the RI fishing Clubs ? Lots of clubs in in Mass .. all i know is Shark River in joisey ..

Just my opinion so don't everyone jump ugly with me.

I have belonged to a ton of Clubs in RI over the last 40+ years. Up untill 2006 I was stricktly a surf rat so all the clubs I belonged to were surf clubs.

In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, none of the clubs are worth the time it takes to attend a meeting. Unless your objective is to get a trophy for bragging rights, it's just time better spent fishing.

There is always a bunch of BS involved, lots of egos about who wants to be an officer, etc. The only club I enjoyed was Thundermist in Woonsocket and that folded when Lanny Grazini died about 5 years ago. #^&#^&#^&#^& Cournoyer, who fishes with a lot of the guys here, on Cutty, was in that Club. We use to have a good time. All these guys cared about was catching big Stripers.

As I stated, I just find there is too much nonsense involved. I do belong to RISAA but mostly because of their PAC and the influence they can put on the politicians in RI.

The Newport Club would qualify.
