We are a family of fishing men, women and children who all love the outdoors, the strike of a fish and the satisfaction of the Catch or Release.

We encourage conservation and are closely affiliated with many conservation groups including United Anglers of California, IGFA, (International Game Fish Association), Billfish Foundation, the Pacific Fisheries Enhancement Foundation, and we operate and manage the White Seabass grow out pens here in Newport Beach.

All BAC members enjoy fellowship, fishing programs, seminars, recognition, trophies, awards, newsletters, an IGFA certified weigh station, an exclusive fishing “hot-line” telephone number to give you the latest fishing reports, access to world wide tournaments and a great clubhouse to enjoy beautiful Newport Bay during our gatherings.

We Sponsor the prestigious “Master Angler Billfish Tournament”, the "Junior Angler’s Tournament" and participate in most other tournaments in Southern California. We have “Pot Luck” parties on the BAC clubhouse deck several times a year and celebrate an annual trophy awards event. We welcome your membership!
