Members and Guests,

Welcome to Norfolk Anglers Club and our passion for recreational fishing!  And, if you are new to the area, welcome to Tidewater Virginia and a truly world class fishing opportunity.  Yes, that’s right – world class angling right here.  Our off shore waters, local lakes and rivers, and the largest bay estuary in the U.S., the Chesapeake Bay, combine to make for an incredible fishery – year round!  The tidewater area is routinely cited in articles written in national sport fishing magazines as well as television media showcasing our fishing resource.  So, whether it is large, offshore pelagic fish you seek in the deep or skinny water inshore species – fresh or saltwater – if you like fishing, we have the good fortune of an amazing variety of fishes to target. 

Our club is a place to gather, share and learn from local authorities and fishing experts (and each other) about these extraordinary fishing opportunities.  Our member experience levels span from the novice to the master angler.  For the novice, it is a place to quickly learn from years of combined experience.  For the master angler, it is a place to continue your education, fine tune your knowledge and mentor those who desire to improve their angling ability.

In addition to our passion for fishing, our club members share in social functions and activities (such as tournaments) throughout the year.  These events, coupled with fishing, build camaraderie and friendships.  We welcome families and encourage the involvement of junior anglers – our sports future leaders.  And, our charitable work includes fishing events for our military men and women as well as contributions to local children’s charities/programs.

So, if you are currently an NAC member, I encourage your continued participation.  If you are not a member but seek an angling club to join, or just want to attend a specific presentation by one of our speakers, I invite you to “check us out” and attend a club meeting as our guest.  All of our monthly meetings are open to the public.  

 Tight lines,  Doug Johnson - President
