what’s happening
As both an annual fishing tournament and a non-profit organization we have lots to talk about! See what’s happening in our neck of the woods, and how you can help us make a difference.
Congratulations to all the winners. Thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated, and for the general outpouring of support from the community that was instrumental in making this year such a success. The other winners from this event will be the families and children that Mission Fishin' will be able to help with these proceeds. We already have dates for next year, April 24-26, 2025, and we promise to work even harder to give y'all a fun tournament and a great night of celebration and fun. So set those dates aside for us and watch for photos from last night's festivities, which we'll share throughout the coming week!
