Fishing for the 1st Annual CBKA Tournament was as difficult as I've ever seen at the Bay Bridge this time of year mostly due to the large influx of rain and flooding in the area. The bay was a very nice coffee color for the tournament.
We had 37 registered participants for the 1st year and many sponsors, whom we couldn't have put on the tournament without.
We raised over $2600 for Make-A-Wish and Coastal Conservation Association and raffled off thousands of dollars worth of prizes.

***Just to add to the report, I was the only person to catch the SLAM, but due to the fact that my rockfish was not of legal size to enter it was ineligible. (I even caught 2 bluefish and multiple perch which would have allowed me to enter into both prize divisions. Not bragging, just bummed I was able to win the big prize lol
Also, I purchased the Jackson Coosa that was being silently auctioned.
Will be taking it for a test drive tonight!!
