The latest from CURRENTS

Well, summer is amongst us, and that means the best fishing tournament in Texas, the CCA Texas STAR Tournament has released all the tagged Redfish, and the tournament has begun. There’s over $2,000,000 in prizes, including trucks, boats, UTV’s, and scholarships. Don’t forget to register as you must have to be in it to win it!

Now, back to chapter business. We hosted our sold-out 45th Annual Rio Grande Valley Chapter Banquet on March 28, 2025, at the Mission Event Center. WOW, what an amazing event with a huge turnout despite the bad weather and flooding in the RGV the day before the event. We saw nothing but smiles and laughter throughout the whole event as the camaraderie was strong amongst all attendees.

Also, a big thank you to everyone who made it out and supported us. In addition, I personally would like to thank the chapter board members and volunteers for their hard work and dedication! The success of CCA and of this chapter would not be possible without the dedicated support of all the sponsors, attendees, donors, and volunteers! We look forward to seeing y’all soon as we are planning our next event, so stay tuned.
