The AAU Angling Association is the number one fishing organization based out of this college and we want you! Sometimes all you catch is some sunshine but the worst day fishing will always beat the best day workin. The Club will walk you through how to get a license, any equipment, or information, but you don’t need any of that stuff. All you gotta have is good vibes and a can do attitude and I’m sure you’d be a perfect in the AAU Angling Association.
