This is the largest all-women’s fishing tournament in the USA, which celebrates conservation, camaraderie, and the love of the great outdoors. Whether you’re fishing or cheering on a team, it’s always a fantastic weekend in Rockport! We are open to the public, so come out and have a cocktail, enjoy our great food vendors, live music and shop at our amazing Vendor Alley! You can register on Fishing Chaos or follow the link on BabesontheBay.com. Early registration closes April 15th, after that you’ll be paying $150/Angler (April 16 – May 5).

A HUGE thank you to all our dedicated volunteers who give their time and energy to protect and preserve our coastal resources. Your participation in events like the Billy Sandifer Big Shell Beach Clean Up and the TPWD Abandoned Crab Trap Clean-Up makes a huge difference. These efforts help keep our bays, beaches, and fisheries healthy for generations to come. We couldn’t do it without you! Want to join this fantastic chapter on the Middle Texas Coast? Contact our secretary via text, Jane Jackson at (210) 240-7722 and send her your email address. We look forward to seeing you out on the water!
