The 16th Annual Lower Colorado Chapter Banquet lit up the Bay City Civic Center on Friday, August 1, 2025. 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, Rusty Hook Ranch, Equipment Share, Trilogy Access Mats, Cribbs Concrete, Texas Plate Fabricators, Air Tech Electric, Ward Real Estate, Trans Sport Boats, Antony’s Auto Werx, Guardian Precision Services, LLC, Busha Boat Works, Full Stringer Realty, Jax Services LLC/Top Water Real Estate, and Wayne’s Bait Camp. A BIG thank you as well to our silver and bronze 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 in “top-this” style, 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.
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 7, 2026. That’s when we’ll gather again for the 17th Annual Banquet and Auction.
Next up: The Lower Colorado Chapter’s Guides Cup Tournament. 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.
