About Babes on the Bay
Babes on the Bay is an all-women’s fishing tournament that has existed since 2000. The tournament is hosted by the CCA Texas Aransas Bay Chapter, based in Rockport, Texas. The tournament was created to help educate women about the sport of saltwater fishing in a conservation-minded approach. This format not only educates and brings more women into the sport of fishing, but it instills an attitude of conservation in the sport through conservative bag limits during the tournament and encouraging the participants to keep only the fish they need.
The event offers an opportunity for women from across the State of Texas and the entire country to come together in a fun-filled weekend with live bands, vendor booths, educational outreach by Texas Parks and Wildlife, and other conservation-minded organizations. In addition, each participant of the tournament receives a CCA Texas membership as part of their entry. This membership provides continued educational outreach about conservation issues along the Texas coast through the CCA Texas state newsletter Currents, and the CCA National magazine Tide.
Don’t miss out, and be sure to join the largest all-women’s fishing event in the country. Be a part of the effort to educate women of all ages about the conservation of Texas’s coastal resources and the sport of saltwater fishing.
