The Tri County Elite Bass club was born of necessity in the winter of 2019. Many of our founding members had a desire to reshape the local tournament bass trail scene. The most desired aspect of our club was developed from the motto, “one man, one boat and go catch your five best bass”. Our club does not have co-anglers. Our members wanted to get in their boats, go find their fish and not be distracted by a co-angler. So in February of 2019 a handful of friends and interested parties sat down at a meeting and formed what would eventually become the Tri County Elite Bass Club.
TCE Bass is a B.A.S.S. affiliated organization. Besides being highly competitive tournament anglers, our members are stewards of the environment and conservationist. From the beginning we established that as a club we would protect our natural resources to the best of our ability. We would promote the sport of bass fishing. We encourage each member to actively seek out and take younger children fishing. “Pass it on” and “pay it forward” are two values that we strive to achieve for the future of our chosen sport.
TCE Bass is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best collection of anglers in the upstate New York region. We eagerly encourage anyone that shares our competitive love for bass fishing to come and join us. We fish on some of the finest fisheries in the United States here in upstate New York. If you think you have what it takes and want to compete against an equally skilled group of anglers, give us a try. We have some of the highest payouts for club tournaments in the state.
