Who's In!?! Bay Fishing at Convention
Don't Miss Out! We need to hear from you ASAP
TPGA members, if fishing in the beautiful city of Corpus Christi, TX while at the 2019 TPGA Convention & Tradeshow is on your wish list, we sure wish you could let us know! Our Bay Fishing is scheduled for Friday, August 9, 2019.

Due to the fishing charters being in high demand and the fact they book up fast, TPGA needs to gather a fairly accurate estimate as to who’s in. Please note, by acknowledging you may fish with the group it does not commit you to the excursion. You can register for the Convention & Tradeshow later at your convenience. Bay Boats only hold a few people each, so we need to do our best to get a headcount and see who’s in.

Call us TODAY at (800)325-7427 if you plan to fish wit
h the group or RSVP below.
Thank you & Happy Casting!
