1. What is the Pasadena Sportfishing Group, Inc. (P.S.G) about?

We are a Non-Profit Fishing Group. A group of sport fishermen (men, women and kids) who enjoy a short meeting about fishing and fun. A place to meet and make friends and get the latest fishing update of how, where, and when the fish are biting.

2. What does the group offer to its members?

  • Free membership and No dues
  • Free door prize
  • 50/50 Raffle
  • 50¢ prize table with an estimated $400 to $500 in prizes.
  • Discount membership with Boat U.S. for only $8.50 (50% savings)
  • Members also bring in fishing magazines for others to read or exchange.
  • Our newsletter "HEY FISH" is free to all members.
  • The fire hall has dinner platters and other snacks, ice cream sundaes and beverages.
  • Offers you local fishing events and other activities.
  • Great guest speakers at the meetings and that's what we feel makes us special.

3. What are the meetings about?

The doors open 6:00pm and the meeting starts 7:30pm. and generally last about one and half hours. We discuss our activities, and open the floor to discussions about where the fish are being caught. There is a guest speaker, later we draw our cash 50/50, the free door prize, and prizes from the prize table. Most of the meetings end by 9:00 or 9:30 p.m. We try to accommodate the membership by keeping our meetings simple, short and interesting. Most meetings average about 150-200 in attendance so please come early.

4. What other attractions make the P.S.G. a special group?

  • The meetings are "smoke free" (non- smoking).
  • No politics (fish talk only).
  • No dues (free membership).
  • The fire hall has good food at very fair prices.
  • We are very proud of our web site heyfish.com
  • Our telephone number is (410) HEY FISH. (The number says it all!)

5. How does the P.S.G. function financially if everything is free?

Donations to our 50/50 and prize table provide a minimal budget. Our annual fishing and boating Flea market/show is the main fund-raiser and special fund-raisers such as raffles are implemented only when required.

Funds are used for:

  • purchasing items for door prizes and prize table items
  • annual activities and events
  • donations to public children fishing events
  • the "Hey Fish" newsletter
  • other operating expenses

6. Does the group leader organize all this?

No way! We have committee meetings every fourth Monday of each month where committee members have input on planning, organizing meetings, and events of the Pasadena Sportfishing Group. (This is our business meetings)

7. How can I become a member of the P.S.G.?

Free membership and no dues, all we ask you to do is sign-in at each meeting. Attending meetings and getting involved with our activities makes you part of the group. If you are proud to be a member of the P.S.G. hats, shirts, jackets, and boat flags are available at cost. We ask all members "please no table talk" during the meeting. It is disrespectful to the speaker and all the members around you.
