WINTER CRAPPIE CHALLENGE

Good company.
Greater purpose.

Our next Alabama fishing event is planned for Coosa Landing on Neely Henry Lake in Gadsden. A friendly competition with a mission that reaches well beyond the weigh-in.

Every Cast for a Cause event supports After the Action Healing Foundation and access to no-cost, trauma-informed care for eligible veterans. Anglers and community supporters are welcome.

December 6 is our planned date. Venue booking, permits, tournament format, hours, prizes and rules still require confirmation. Registration is not open and interest inquiries do not reserve a place.
