The 28th Annual OCARC fishing tournament begins this evening (Friday) and this year should be another banner one for the popular event.
Annually it draws more than 300 participants with a family-friendly atmosphere and categories that reflect the unique fishery we have in Southeast Texas.
This is the second longest running tournament in the area (behind SALT) which is a testament to the unique format and the wonderful people who host the event.
As usual, the tournament features cash prizes totaling $2,700 for 11 species running the gamut from fresh to saltwater. The entry fee remains $25.
There is still time to sign up at OCARC headquarters on 8th and Park in Orange until 5 p.m.
The weigh-in will take place 6 p.m. Aug. 1 at the City of Orange Boat Ramp.
