Tiderunner Bassmasters
Tiderunner Bassmasters is located in Pasadena Maryland with members in Pasadena, Glen Burnie,
Hanover, Millersville, Annapolis and Severn. Our monthly meetings are held in Pasadena on the first
Monday of each month. The club was formed in 1989 by eight friends (six of whom were formally in
another club together) who were looking to have a more structured club than those that they had
experience with before. They wanted club hats and shirts to identify the club, members that would
regularly attend meetings and fish the tournaments. And they wanted this in a friendly, social and
competitive atmosphere where everyone got along and helped one another. The members have tried to
hold true to these ideals throughout the years.
Presently, the club has 9 members of various ages and backgrounds with 6 boaters and 3 non-boaters.
We fish 8-10 tournaments a year (most years we fish a 2-day tournament). We fish rivers in Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina and on the Eastern Shore. Some of the rivers we have fished are Potomac,
Dundee, Susquehanna Flats, Sassafras, Wicomico, Nanticoke, Chester, Choptank, Rappahannock (VA),
Chickahominy (VA), Falls Lake (NC), Gaston (NC) and Kerr (NC). We don't have a pairing policy for
tournaments except for non-boaters and members with boat problems, but members can pair-up if they
wish. Our "Mr. Bass" is determined by a point system based solely on fish caught in tournaments.
Tournament winners receive plaques at the Club Banquet at the end of the year; the only money payout
is for an optional Lunker pot at each tournament. Four of our members have made the Maryland Bass
Federation Nation State Team.
