Fishing enthusiasts will get a chance to compete for prizes while supporting a home for abused children in the first annual Ventura Kiwanis Calico Bass Tournament July 12-14.
Organizers of the three-day event hope to raise at least $10,000, which will be donated to the Casa Pacifica Home, a refuge for traumatized children now under construction in Camarillo, tournament chairman Jerry Dunn said.
“All money after expenses will be given to Casa Pacifica,” Dunn said.
Prizes, including a trip for two to Cabo San Lucas, will be awarded to the angler with the largest fish.
Entrants will be allowed to fish from 5 a.m. July 12 to 4 p.m. July 14.
Fish must be weighed in daily between 1 and 5 p.m. At the official weigh station at the ventura sportfishing landing.
Fishing will be limited to an area within 40 miles offshore from Point Dume to Point Conception.
The entry fee will be $25 per angler. For an extra $10 per fisherman, anglers will also be able to compete in two-person team competition.
Charter fishing boats will be available.
