Welcome to MarkWeare.com, a spot where you are welcome to follow along with me and  specifically bass fishing and tournament commpetitions. To the right you can see an old picture of me holding the very first fish Ishare my passion for fishing, can ever remember catching, was a nice brook trout on a fly rod. Was four years old then and had to wear my Davy Crockett hat everywhere I went.

Below you will find stats relating to our team which is named after our very long standing sponsor, Valley Tire. Team Valley Tire (TVT) has been competing in bass tournaments since the mid 90's and has of course enjoyed it's successes and not so-successes.

My partner in almost all of my fishing excursions is  my father Millage Weare, we spend a lot of our spring, summer and fall spare time competing in smallmouth tournaments here in Atlantic Canada as well as Quebec and Ontario when possible. My brother Leigh Weare joined TVT to fish the some of the other events in place of Millage when dad is unable to attend.
