The Lake Nepessing Bass Club was started on a cold day in February at George's Bait & Tackle located below the Lake Inn on Lake Nepessing. Co-founders Larry Gargus and George Crnkovich called for the first meeting on March 7th. 1976. Forty members signed up that day, over thirty years later, five are still members. From 1976 through 2006 144 fisherman have been members of our club.
The L.N.B.C. has won three national awards from B.A.S.S., won awards from the Michigan B.A.S.S. Chapter Federation, earned several awards from local groups and organizations, and last but not least, over thirty awards from the area Boy Scout's. We would like to thank all the members who worked so hard to help us earn those awards.
