33RD Annual TACCA Greater San Antonio Fishing Tournament

The local San Antonio HVAC community traded service calls for calls to fish last month as over 100 anglers headed to Corpus Christi for TACCA–Greater San Antonio’s 33rd Annual Fishing Tournament. Contractor and Associate Members, coworkers, friends and families gathered for a weekend of good company, new connections and great catches.

The festivities kicked off Friday with the Captain’s Mixer at the Waterline at Doc’s, featuring a fabulous shrimp boil piled with potatoes, corn, sausage, plenty of cold beverages and a spectacular sunset over the Laguna Madre. Mother Nature clearly got the memo.

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, a little extra red, white and blue was added to the weekend. Every angler, committee member and volunteer received a special America-themed fishing shirt to mark the occasion.

Saturday delivered exceptional fishing, with every team weighing in their bounty of redfish, trout, and black drum. The tournament’s first-ever Junior Division added another reason to celebrate, welcoming young anglers into a longtime favorite TACCA tradition.

Then came the well-earned BBQ dinner, thousands of dollars in raffle prizes, two guns and a celebration of the winners, America and the HVAC community that made it all possible. Whether participants landed an award, a raffle prize, or simply a great weekend, there was plenty to celebrate.

The tournament’s impact reaches well beyond the coast. All funds raised stay in Greater San Antonio, supporting contractor training and education, strengthening the local HVAC industry and helping TACCA–GSA continue to serve its members.

“To every angler, member, sponsor, committee member and volunteer who helped make this weekend a success: **THANK YOU!** Your dedication, hard work and enthusiasm keep this longtime tradition going strong.”

**Congratulations to our winners—and thanks to everyone who made the 33rd annual tournament one for the books!**
