For the last 26 years, on Good Friday weekend, the members of the Bridge City Volunteer Fire & Rescue have held a fishing tournament for its members (past and present) and their families.

As our department has grown, so has the tournament.

After the tournament, we hold a fish fry for the participants as well as hand out door prizes and tournament prizes.

Due to the increase in participants, we are asking for donations from local businesses.

What we need help with is monetary donations or prizes.

The monetary donations will be used to purchase prizes related to fishing and to also pay for the fish fry.

If you would like to help make our fishing tournament a success, you can contact Chance Chatagnier, Don Breaux or Carroll LeBlanc, at the Fire Station 409-735-2419, by March 31, 2017
