ABCLA Fishing Rodeo

MAY 2021 By: Macie Morgan, Membership & Communications Coordinator

The 2021 Fishing Rodeo was a windy but fun weekend in Grand Isle, Louisiana with our ABC Bayou and Pelican members. The weekend started off on Thursday with the annual “Party at Arties” sponsored by Bottom Line Equipment. Members had a chance to check out the competition and mingle with fellow attendees. Friday morning the anglers threw their lines in the water with hopes of catching a winner!

After docking their boats, anglers enjoyed dinner at the marina sponsored by Equipment Share. After dinner, our ABC Bayou and ABC Pelican Young Professionals headed over to the Hurricane Hole for some games, drinks, and fun.

Despite the strong winds, the anglers took their boats out again on Saturday morning. Boats started rolling in around 4pm to begin the final weigh-in. During the weigh-in, anglers and members enjoyed dinner sponsored by H&E Equipment.
