What's the CCA?

Coastal Conservation Association I think.

Charlie is right....great organization. If one gets lucky (without spending an arm and a leg), one can come home with lots of goodies. The actual auction is just that, you are bidding against a few folks. But the "bucket" raffles are outstanding. They pull your number...you win. I have done WELL at a few of these.....several nice fly rods etc.  The last one in MD....well....I won an ARC dehooker....that was it!

Bob is right....for not too much of an investment, I was cleaning up at these events (lures, reels, rods etc). My luck has slowed down a bit now that I am more involved! But I took home two very nice fly rods at an event last year... value of over $700.

Thanks for posting -

This is a pretty good value - You will get a CCA membership with Ticket purchase - and that provides a pretty cool fishing magazine subscription for that year -

Plus Meal and Open Bar -

I have been lucky at these events - last year my ticket was pulled for a few items - and I won by bidding a trip with Brady Bounds - a darn good captain on the bay - I am scheduled to fish the skinny water over on the eastern side of the bay accross from Solomons Island.

The proceeds from this banquet fuel conservation efforts throughout Virginia - and nationally -

Recent efforts including defeating a bill in Richmond SB 1087 - which would have set back Viginia Marine Resources Commission back to a majority of Commercial Fishing interests versus the balance that it has now -

PLUS - it is a fun event - It is open to the public - and we often see folks coming from other Clubs - Potopmac Smallies, Trout Unlimited, etc,,,,
