What an incredible night for conservation on the Texas coast. Our Aransas Bay CCA Banquet was officially SOLD OUT, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the overwhelming support from this community. From longtime members to first-time attendees, the energy in the room was a true reflection of what makes this chapter so special, people who care deeply about our coastal resources and the future of our fisheries.
Because of you, we are able to continue funding meaningful conservation efforts right here in our backyard, from habitat restoration and fisheries enhancement to youth outreach and education. This is what it’s all about.
A sincere thank you to our generous sponsors who help make it all possible. Our major event sponsors include: Salemi’s Ace Hardware, Silsbee Ford / Lakeside Chevrolet, Rockport Tackle Town, Big Tree Realty, Rockport Shelley Team – Guild Mortgage, and so many others who continue to step up for conservation year after year. Your support does not go unnoticed.
We also want to recognize our incredible volunteers. This chapter runs on the dedication of people who give their time not just for events like the banquet, but all year long—working behind the scenes, showing up early, staying late, and doing whatever it takes to move the mission forward. We are truly thankful for each and every one of you.

As we head into the warmer months, we’re looking ahead to one of the most exciting events of the year—Babes on the Bay, happening May 15–16, 2026 at the Fulton Convention Center. This one-of-a-kind, all-women’s tournament continues to grow and inspire, bringing together anglers from across the coast in support of conservation. Thank you to all of our Babes on the Bay sponsors who help make this event so impactful—we can’t wait for another unforgettable weekend.
Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes early mornings on the water, rising tides, and the kind of days that remind us why we work so hard to protect these resources.
Thank you again for standing with CCA Texas and for being part of something bigger than all of us. We’ll see you on the water.
