Freeport Tuna Club Membership
Why should you become a member of the best fishing club on Long Island?
You and your family can enjoy all of the great activities sponsored by our club.
We have more seminars, guest speakers, clinics, barbecues and captain/crew meetings than any other fishing club!
We sponsor over 30 fishing contests each year with cash prizes awarded to club members.
Fishing Contests
Throughout the year the club sponsors fishing contests for our members. Each contest, or fishing derby as we like to call them, has awards for first through third place. It ain’t just tuna, either! Every year, we have derbies for fluke, flounder, blackfish, sea bass, bluefish, shark, tuna (of course), striped bass, codfish, weakfish, mahi, green bonita and false albacore. At the Freeport Tuna Club, a half pound flounder wins as much as a 200 pound bigeye tuna!
Rodeos
Each Spring we have a Rodeo weekend where club members and their families fish to win hundreds of dollars worth of prizes. On Rodeo weekends we fish from Friday night through Sunday and have an awards barbecue along with a prize ceremony bash at our property on Sunday evening.
Yearly Club Awards
Every year over 45 FTC Awards are presented to club members who have made outstanding catches during the season. Each award consists of a $75 gift certificate and a beautiful personalized plaque to commemorate the event! Award categories and recent winners are listed on our Annual Awards page.
Monthly General Meetings
The Freeport Tuna Club meets every second Thursday of the month. All club business is taken care of and there is a hot and cold buffet with beer and soda available for all to enjoy! Guest speakers who are respected experts in their fields are scheduled whenever possible.
Seminars
The Freeport Tuna Club sponsors various seminars each year (Tuna, Shark & Striped Bass).
Barbecues
From April into November, Thursday nights are your night out at the Freeport Tuna Club. Whether it's an Open Fishing Clinic, Private Club Fishing Clinic, or a Captain-Crew meeting, the barbecue is always running on Thursday nights. At the club's marina you'll find plenty of good food, sturdy drink, and fish stories galore.
Clubhouse & Marina
The Freeport Tuna Club has its own clubhouse and marina on Hudson Canal in Freeport. The clubhouse features a small meeting room for club functions, rest rooms with hot showers and a covered patio deck. It includes 31 boat slips with a winter bubble system that enables you to keep your boat in your slip and fish all winter long for trophy blackfish and codfish. There is plenty of room for dock boxes and freezers, along with secured parking for you and your guests.
