Welcome to the home page for the Marion County Bassmasters. Formerly the Have Fun Bass Tournament Trail, we are now a Florida Federation Nation club that officially started in January 2011. We are a non-profit organization established to preserve and promote the Sport of Bass Fishing, to practice and promote sound environmental policies to conserve our natural resources, to promote youth and public interest in sport fishing and conservation, to work for an abundant, healthy, and self-sustaining bass fishery; to act as an effective voice for the advancement of bass fisheries, to communicate effectively with organizations that have an impact on the sport of bass fishing, and to support local, state and national agencies and organizations whose objectives are to conserve and manage our national resources.
Our goal is to provide a fun, competitive and safe environment for you to fish in while focusing our fishing on the bodies of water that make Florida a great place to fish for bass.

Marion County Bassmasters fished at St. John's Astor! 19 Anglers came out to see if that Post Spawn bite was on! Dale and Stoney Jackson must have found em'! They rounded out the top three spots with an impressive 20.34lb sack which was anchored by the Big Bass of the tournament, a 6.74lb Hawg! Thats usual Jackson style right there! Following behind them in second was the Norton Team with a nice 14.54lb sack and in third was the team of Randy Copeland and James Bass with 11.66lbs! Huge thanks to all the anglers who came out and made this tournament a success!
