Growing up on Long Island, the founders of Bassin' USA had exposure to all
types of fishing. Long Island provides access to both
freshwater and saltwater fishing. Obtaining information
related to fishing was limited to the advice of friends
and the local tackle shop.
With
the rise of the Internet, many fishing related Websites
surfaced to expand the knowledgebase of the fishing
community and make it available to the public. Although
there are thousands of fishing Websites, most lack the
infrastructure to support the growing population of
registered fishermen, which has exceeded 34 million.
Golf and tennis enthusiasts combined do not exceed the
number of fishermen in America today.
In 1997, discussions began
for the creation of
a fishing related Website solely dedicated to freshwater
Bass fishermen. After two long years of planning, the
right people, and a lot of research, Bassin' USA was
founded.
With the vast complexities of an Internet driven
market place, finding accurate and detailed information
related to Bass fishing had become cumbersome at best.
By integrating all facets of this $60 billion dollar
industry, Bassin' USA is building the world's largest
online Bass fishing resource and community to preserve
and further the sport of Bass fishing.
Each year more and more people get online and inquire about this great sport of ours and the online knowledge base just keeps getting better. We are proud to be one of bass fishing's internet pioneers.
Bassin' USA delivers Internet driven bass fishing resources
and services. Our staff provides a tremendous team understanding
of the needs of the bass fishing community, gained from
hands on experience in technology and the fishing industry.
Our company can be characterized
as an interactive service provider, designed by fishermen,
for fishermen.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
"To provide every fisherman
with easy access to detailed bass fishing resources anywhere
in the United States of America."
