The Onslow Bay Chapter of Coastal Conservation Association, North Carolina (CCA-NC) recognizes the tremendous sacrifices our Veterans and Active-duty service members have made to keep us free and secure. In appreciation for all that they have done and will do for our Country, Onslow Bay CCA hosts two semi-annual Veterans Fishing Tournaments in the spring and fall.

We start the year off with our spring tournament, “Fallen Heroes Military Appreciation Fishing Tournament” May 6th, 2023, followed by our fall tournament, “The Billy Burch Wide Open” which is held on October 14th, 2023!!

Onslow Bay CCA is blessed to have a variety of great Boat Captains who donate their boats, fuel, tackle, and time to get our Veterans on the water and catching some fish.

Our goal is that the Veterans merely have to show up with what they need to wear for the day and everything else is provided. In our very supportive military friendly community, we continue to grow a network of generous donors who make all of this possible. The donations they provide are used for door prizes, snacks, drinks, and usually a sumptuous North Carolina BBQ dinner.

If you are interested in supporting or fishing in these Tournaments, please contact the event Chairman Joe Yager: jgyager510@gmail.com/ 910-358-5980
