HELLO
FRIENDS!
As a first-class tuna fishing tournament, the Casco Bay Bluefin Bonanza combines highly-skilled anglers from all over the Northeast in a contest of competition, comradery, and fun.
The Casco Bay Bluefin Bonanza Tuna Tournament is recognized as a501(c)(3) charitable organization. Understanding the importance and reward of giving back to our communities, we are committed to the purpose of raising funds in support of educational scholarships and critical bluefin tuna research. To that end, we use all donations made by charity auction goers, raffle ticket buyers, and our sponsors for a scholarship fund to support students in Maine’s Community Colleges and other deserving entities.
The Casco Bay Bluefin Bonanza continues with great success!!
Thank you to all of the Volunteers, Sponsors, and Captains!
Letter from the President
The dedicated all-volunteer staff at the Bluefin Bonanza continues to seek out new, different and more exciting ways to have a more positive impact on our (your) community. We keep increasing and expanding our support of community college students enrolled in trades and marine science programs because we understand how important that is to providing qualified employees to local businesses. We’re providing more opportunities for future fisheries managers to gain more practical field experience and interact with the fishermen their work will ultimately support. And, we’re boosting our support for ongoing research that is already influencing management of our valuable tuna resource. We’ve got some great new initiatives in the works to promote fishermen and the waterfront and seafood industries that rely on them. If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved with a fun group that is really making a difference, please reach out to us at bluefinbonanza@gmail.com. Meanwhile, don’t forget to visit, like and share our social media on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and our website regularly to keep up with all that’s going on.
Tight lines and best of luck,
The CBBB Committee and Board of Directors
Bob Humphrey – President
