Shawano Bassmasters

Shawano Bassmasters We are a group of friends who fish together tournament style. We are actively involved in the community and we run fishing tournaments.

In 1974 the Wolf River Hawg Hunters fishing club was established, based in Clintonville Wisconsin. In 1980 the Hawg Hunters moved to Shawano Wisconsin and the Shawano Bassmasters were established. Starting with a handful of members, it grew through the years to a membership as high as 30 active members. Shawano Bassmasters have had three more clubs branch off from our members, the Shawano Pond Pou

nders, the Suring Bass Masters, and the Shawano Rednek Bass Busters. Currently we maintain a 20 member cap for our club and are presently at 13 active members. Feel Free To Visit Our Website
