Gearing up for our busy spring season in San Antonio! First up is our 12th Annual Hooked on Clays Sporting Clay Shoot and Crawfish Boil, to be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 at the National Shooting Complex. This is a fun and relaxing event with great comradery and a tasty crawfish boil for our guests to enjoy following the shoot. We generally have between 40 to 60 teams of 4 shooters, and we treat them right with prizes for the top shooters in various categories, raffles, door prizes…and crawfish! If you would like more information, please call Brandon Stellges at (210) 436-9305.
Next up is our Cast for Kids event, to be held this year at Live Oak Park Pond. Tentatively scheduled for Saturday morning, April 5, but not in cement yet. Our CCA committee provides funding and committee member volunteers for the 60 to 100 children and families in attendance. A big thank you to Texas Parks & Wildlife who provide the catfish stocking. For more information, please contact Jim Behnken at (210) 414-8048 or me, Tom Akin, at (210) 313-4860.
And then our big event will follow. On May 1, 2025, mark your calendars for our 46th Annual San Antonio CCA Banquet. Bigger and better than ever, we are shooting to increase our total guests in attendance to about 1,800 … so we are looking for table buyers! We have some new ideas in the planning, so expect a slightly revised format but with all the good stuff you always expect on the banquet floor! For more information, contact our banquet chair Brandon Carpenter at (210) 218-2393 or co-chair Chase Anderson at (210) 710-1820. And in a crunch, John Blaha, our wonderful CCA liaison, at (979)709-1085. As we say, take a kid fishing…or hunting!

Chapter History
The San Antonio Chapter of CCA was founded in 1979 as the Southwest Chapter of GCCA. From the very beginning, the San Antonio Chapter has been at the forefront of fundraising and policy making for CCA. Although located approximately 130 miles from the coast, the San Antonio Chapter consists of approximately 4,000 men, women and children who fish from Port O’Connor to Port Isabel. It is this diverse membership with ties to such a large portion of the Texas coast that has allowed the San Antonio Chapter to lead the way in CCA conservation efforts. Today, the San Antonio Chapter of CCA is one of the top three largest fundraising chapters, grossing over $1 million in our last banquet. The San Antonio Chapter of CCA welcomes participation in its efforts from those interested in making positive impact on our coastal resources.
