The fishing is fantastic, so “catch” the excitement and become a sponsor of the 16th Annual Save Our Lake & Coast Fishing Rodeo.  Participants will have many ways to become winners with their catches from the Pontchartrain Basin (which includes bayous, rivers, and tributaries of Lakes Pontchartrain, Maurepas, St. Catherine, Borgne and Breton Sound.).  The awards presentation will be held on Saturday, June 1st at the Back to the Beach Festival at Laketown in Kenner.  All proceeds from the Save Our Lake & Coast Fishing Rodeo are used to continue efforts to restore and preserve the Pontchartrain Basin.

This year we are hosting a Save Our Lake and Coast Fishing Rodeo Kickoff and Earlybird Party which will be held on Thursday, May 16th, 5-8 pm, at the New Canal Lighthouse Museum & Education Center. Sponsors and attendees are invited to participate in a Q & A session with our Lake Pontchartrain Panel of Captains.

The Awards Presentaiton will be on Saturday, June 1 at 6:15 pm on the Main Stage at the Back to the Beach Festival.
