CCA Austin Board members participated in the ICC Tournament in Port Aransas at the end of July and placed in 3rd. With over 300 CCA Board members from all over the state participating it was a great way to meet other board members and have a great time fishing. Thank you to the Staff of CCA Texas for putting on this event every year.
