Average Joes Fishing Club
We are Average Joes here for the Average Joe. We want to provide anglers of all skill levels with all the information and resources possible to help them become better anglers and to be able to pass that along to the next generation anglers. We do this by providing a forum with as much information and resources as possible and in a family friendly environment. Non-species specific so that whatever species of fish an angler is targeting they can find what they need.
The 5 F’s of Fishing
The 5 F’s of Fishing is our motto so that not only the knowledge is passed on but also the love, passion, and respect are also passed on…for not just the sport of fishing and the natural resources but also for family and friends along with the fun and enjoyment of fishing. If it’s not fun then what’s the point?
We realize there are many fishing forums out there but we want to be the one that you want to come to.
