Banquet
The 17th Annual Lower Colorado Chapter Banquet lit up the Bay City Civic Center on Friday, August 7, 2026. The house was packed wall to wall, and the evening was filled with food, fun, and outstanding support for our mission.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the sponsors who stepped forward in a big way to ensure this year’s success. Special recognition goes to our platinum and prize sponsors: Gulf Coast Ace Hardware, Capital Farm Credit, Ward Real Estate, Trans Sport Boats, Busha Boat Works and C4 Construction Group.
A BIG thank you as well to our Gold, Silver and Bronze table sponsors—you make a difference!
Equally important, we recognize our tireless volunteers who worked before, during, and after the banquet. Their efforts set the stage for an evening that went off without a hitch.
The live auction was as spirited as ever. Bidders battled it out, driving up the excitement as they competed for terrific prizes including fishing trips with Matagorda County’s finest captains. The prize everyone wanted? A chance to fish in the highly coveted Lower Colorado Guides Cup. The battle will be fought on Oct. 12, 2026, between Capt. Fern Gonzales, Capt. Charlie Paradoski, Capt. Trey Prye, Capt. Troy Keen, Capt. Layton Ordrias, Capt. Kenny Hauff III, Capt. Kenny Hauff Jr., Capt. Zach Shannon, Capt. Josh Rush, Capt. Stephen Gardner, Capt. Cody Kovar, Capt. Caleb Rush, Capt. Peyton Arrison and Capt. Tommy Alexander
This year also saw a wave of new attendees whose enthusiasm added to the buzz in the room. Between the high-energy bidding, the outstanding fajitas from Vallarta Mexican Grill, and that unforgettable chocolate cake for dessert, it was truly a night to remember.
Mark your calendars now for Friday, August 6, 2027. That’s when we will gather again for the 18th Annual CCA Lower Colrado Banquet and Auction.
Next up: The 10th Annual Lower Colorado Chapter’s Guides Cup Tournament on October 12, 2026. Our lucky auction winners will soon be on the water with their chosen captains, competing in one of the Texas CCA’s most exciting tournaments. The showdown for the title of TOP GUIDE in the Matagorda Bay system promises to be a fierce and fun event.
As always, stay tuned for upcoming news and events from the Lower Colorado Chapter of Texas CCA—the only chapter that proudly represents and supports all of Matagorda’s bays, lakes, rivers, and creeks.
