The 11th Annual CCA Kid’s Fishing Tournament will be held on Grayton Beach on Sunday, April 24 this year from noon to 4pm.

Registration will be on the back deck of The Red Bar in Grayton Beach. The first 150 anglers will receive a rod and reel combo provided by Fish Florida, bait and tackle from our friends at Yellowfin Ocean Sports, beach rod holder donated from Ferguson Water Works and an awesome T-shirt graciously given by Samuel Taylor Homes and Luke & Blues custom homebuilders. Also, the guys from Preble-Rish will be on hand grilling dogs for anyone who is hungry!

The top three anglers from each division will be awarded a medal offered by O’Connell & Associates. First place winners in the boys and girls categories will receive a Gold Pass to Big Kahuna provided by Mainsail Realty.

In addition to the awesome fishing and family fun, look for education stations set up by Florida Fish & Wildlife, Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, Grayton Beach State Park as well as the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance (CBA). Bill Horn, a retired FWC marine biologist, will also be on hand to teach the children about local fish species identification.

South Walton CCA chapter president Sister O'Connell said, "This event is one of the highlights of our year. The kids love to fish at Grayton and are so excited to get a new rod and reel- it puts a smile on everyone’s face. We provide an opportunity for local children to spend an afternoon with their parents and friends at the beach engaged in fishing and hands on learning. And, with more education stations we are increasing their awareness of the unique coastal marine resources here in South Walton as well as how to enjoy them responsibly and the need for conservation.”

If you are interested in sponsoring or making a donation for this event, please contact Sister O'Connell at sistaoconnell@yahoo.com. If you would like to register early, and we recommend that you do, please visit www.ccaflorida.org and click on the South Walton chapter link.
