We are a small bass club that was originally started as a group of employees with Walker Manufacturing in Aberdeen, Mississippi. As the club aged in the company, it began to allow non-employees to join and fish. In/around 2001, Walker Manufacturing shut down it’s operation in Aberdeen, Mississippi and the bass club members decided to keep the club active, albeit a name change. We decided to rename the club from The Walker Bass Club to Four Lake Bass Club because it reflected upon the four pools of the Tenn-Tom waterway that we fish (Columbus, Aberdeen, Amory and Smithville pools).

Each year, we fish a schedule of eight regular tournaments where we collect our points for our angler of the year title. At the end of the year, we have our club’s classic. This is our big payout tournament, where we pay out all the money in our club’s collection from the entry fees paid during the year. We try to encourage beginners in our club, as we feel that it is great starting place for family and friends to be introduced into tournament bass fishing. Our club membership typically runs around 20 members. Currently there are only a few of the original members that fished as Walker Bass Club (three active members). We have a select set of rules concerning equipment, conduct, and eligibility for fishing in our Classic.

Each year we try to have a club cookout or meeting at a restaurant where we encourage family members to come and meet everybody. This past January, we adopted the rules to allow family members to fish in the same boat, although competing against each other (encouraging wives and kids to join).We currently are not affiliated with any organization and do not have any sponsors. Occasionally we might get prizes donated to give out at our tournaments, such as our classic, but we do not carry any obligation to advertise.
