Growing up on Long Island, Bassin' USA founders Brendan Cucinello and Joseph Contrino have had exposure to all types of fishing. Long Island provides access to both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Obtaining information related to fishing was limited to the advice of friends and the local tackle shop.With the rise of the Internet, many fishing related Websites surfaced to expand the knowledgebase of the fishing community and make it available to the public. Although there are thousands of fishing Websites, most lack the infrastructure to support the growing population of registered fishermen, which has exceeded 34 million. Golf and tennis enthusiasts combined do not exceed the number of fishermen in America today.In 1997, discussions began between, Bassin' USA President, Brendan Cucinello and, Vice President, Joseph Contrino for the creation of a fishing related Website solely dedicated to freshwater Bass fishermen. After two long years of planning, the right people, and a lot of research, Bassin' USA was founded.With the vast complexities of today's Internet driven market place, finding accurate and detailed information related to Bass fishing has become next to impossible.
