Become a Member of the Casco Bay Tuna Club
For generations, the waters around Casco Bay have brought anglers together—bound by salt, sea, and the stories shared between casts. The Casco Bay Tuna Club, founded in 1968, is proud to carry on that tradition. But our story begins even earlier: in 1938, when the first Bailey Island Tuna Tournament was held and the Bailey Island Tuna Club was born.
Today, we honor that legacy by hosting one of the oldest and most storied tuna tournaments in the country. And after reviving the club in 2024 following a brief hiatus, we're more committed than ever to rebuilding the strong, welcoming community this club has always been known for.
As a member of the Casco Bay Tuna Club, you’ll not only gain access to all club-hosted events—including the iconic Bailey Island Fishing Tournament—you’ll also help shape the future of the club itself. Your membership is your voice, your vote, and your place in a long-standing tradition.
We're also proud to offer Junior Memberships for kids 12 and under, at no cost. Young anglers are eligible to join when a parent or guardian is already a member—because there's no better time to foster a love of fishing than in those early years.
Whether you’re here for the tournaments, the community, or simply the love of the water, there’s a place for you in the Casco Bay Tuna Club.
Join us—and take your place in a tradition that runs deep.
