Event Activities
Bay Area Fishing Tournament is a family-friendly event. We will have plenty of activities for everyone in the family, even if they aren't into fishing! Kids can practice fishing in the fishing pond, use a bow at the archery skills challenge or have fun at one of our many free kid's activities. Adults can enjoy a cold brew and some good food in the beer tent while listening to some live music at night. Come out and join us. We're sure you'll get hooked!
