The Corpus Christi Law Enforcement Fishing Tournament or better known as CCLEFT has truly become a “Must” for many people to participate in because they know that it’s for higher education to those who otherwise could not afford to pursue their dreams. CCLEFT helps make this happen.
This Years 2010 Corpus Christi Law Enforcement Fishing Tournament is scheduled for August 13th & 14th. You are invited to come out and have a FUN day of fishing with your family & friends all the while supporting the community in higher education.
The Directors of the CCLEFT organization are just simply terrific to work with. They make you feel like you’re part of their family.
We hope to see YOU THERE.

A Rooster of a Fish Tale
Pat Townsend shares a great story of a Rooster Fish she caught while fishing with her husband in Mexico. I had never heard of a Rooster fish so I had to look it up. It took both her and her husband to bring this one in after a long fight and 2 fishing poles. She said it was as tall as herself. We appreciate her sharing this story in our podcast. Here is what the Rooster Fish looks like:
