Babes on the Bay is an all-women’s fishing tournament that has been in existence since the year 2000. The tournament is hosted and run 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 to the sport through conservative bag limits in place during the tournament and encouraging the participants to keep only the fish they need.
