Events

Our Annual Banquet is not just a community-based event, but a significant opportunity for you to make a difference. By supporting our many conservation activities throughout the state, such as building reefs, releasing fingerling trout, and our Casting for Conservation children's events, you are directly impacting recreational anglers beyond our membership. Every dollar raised at this event will remain here in Mississippi, helping to preserve our natural resources for future generations. Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

Get ready for an evening of great food, live entertainment, and the chance to win some fascinating prizes. Our live and silent auctions will feature a wide range of items, including guns, trips to Cabo San Lucas, Costa Rica, and Argentina, as well as fishing charters from around the state. We've curated a selection that we're confident will pique your interest and make the bidding process an exciting experience.
