Area anglers can fish for a cause on April 23 when Coldwell Banker Exclusive Realty & Management hosts its 2nd Annual Bass Fishing Tournament at Lake Hartwell benefiting Connie Maxwell Children’s Ministries.
“Bass fishing goes back to my roots when I was a kid and I thought this would be a great way to do something that I enjoy, but also do community outreach,” said Trent Smith, co-owner of Coldwell Banker Exclusive Realty & Management.
The real estate firm’s first fishing tournament drew 105 boats and raised $15,000 for Connie Maxwell, a residential care facility in Greenwood, SC. The company also collected and delivered a 24-foot box truck full of donated items ranging from paper goods and cases of water to laundry detergent and bed linens.
The entry fee for the tournament is $10 per person entry fee, plus an additional donation of goods or dollars to Connie Maxwell. The payout for the tournament is $2,500 for first place, $1,000 for second place and $500 for third.
Boats will launch at safe light on Saturday, April 23, from Broyles Landing at Lake Hartwell, located off Highway 24 in Anderson County.
Weigh-in will be held at 3 p.m., with complimentary burgers and hotdogs available to participants at that time.
For more information or to pre-register for the fishing tournament, contact Rusty Nickles at (864) 554-9267. Pre-registration is not required.
