FOR OVER FORTY YEARS!
While the exact year is not known at this time, the Fayette Bass Club was founded sometime during the sixties by Delmer Bowles, Alex Kizzire, Johnny Renfroe and Durwood Stough (all of Fayette, Alabama). It was said by Mr. Bowles that during the beginning of the club's first days, there were only two boats competing against one another. Delmer and Alex were partners fishing against Johnny and Durwood. Delmer Bowles is the only surviving founder. Currently, the club consists of eighty two members and averages approximately thirty five boats per tournament.
This website is dedicated to the members of the Fayette Bass Club for the purpose of keeping its members current on tournaments, events and news. Though you may not be a member, feel free to browse. The Fayette Bass Club is an Alabama B.A.S.S. Federation Nation affiliated club dedicated to the sport of angling for ourselves and future generations.
