6th Annual Inshore Fishing Classic a Success

A group of people pose for a picture. They are holding children's books.

October 18th, Champions for Children hosted our 6th Annual Inshore Fishing Classic Tournament. The tournament, which welcomed 80 anglers and 21 boats, exceeded our 2024 goal and last year’s accomplishments.

Hosted at Hula Bay, the catch-and-release-style tournament invited anglers to compete for the largest snook, redfish, and trout.

Congratulations to all our anglers who took home prizes!
