We are so excited for this year’s CCA NC “Kids Fishing for The Future” Tournament!! Check out our Facebook page for further information and to stay up to date on the progress of the tournament throughout the next few weeks. We are limited to 100 kids so please register online beforehand so that your spot will be accounted for.
This is a special event and a great way to introduce our youth to fishing and the outdoors. There is no better way to escape today’s climate than to get out on the water with the family while introducing the outdoors to our next generation of anglers that will advocate for the future of our resources here in North Carolina.
Youth anglers will be divided into two divisions, 13 - 17 years old, and 12 and under. All kids registered before September 25th will get a swag bucket containing sponsor and fishing gear. Anyone registering after September 25th will receive any other extra promotional items we may have from our sponsors. All registered kids, with a parent or authorized adult, should be at the Check-in on Friday, October 2nd from 4:00- 6:00pm at the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Swansboro (Stay up to date with emails).
All participating youth anglers must check-in to receive their individual marker. The tournament will be an inshore catch and release only tournament. All youth anglers are welcome to fish from land, boat, or kayak.
Be sure to join us at approximately 2:30 PM on Saturday after fishing at the Waterway Inn for a hot dog lunch, games, and all sorts of great prizes!!! We will be announcing our division winners, largest fish winners, and alot more at the luncheon at the Inn.
