Building the Future

Redfish Tournament

Join us in celebrating Pamlico Christian Academy Capital Campaign with our 2nd Annual Fishing Tournament led by our 6th grade teacher, Captian Randy Nelson. This offers anglers of all ages and skill levels a fantastic opportunity to showcase their talents on the beautiful waters of Eastern North Carolina. Set sail from Vandemere Park for a day filled with fun, friendly competition, and prizes designed for both seasoned pros and family participants. This year’s grand prize for Pro’s is $1000. Let’s kick off the fall fishing season while supporting a great cause.

Located just minutes from downtown Bayboro, the tournament features two competitive divisions, plus a special “Big Fish” challenge and a kids’ pin fish mini tournament. We invite everyone to register and join in the excitement. With cash and prizes awarded in both divisions, this event also serves as a fundraiser for Pamlico Christian Academy Capital Campaign Building Fund. All donations are tax deductible.
