Fishbites marks 25th anniversary with event and donation
US-based bait manufacturer Fishbites marked its 25th birthday in style, with anglers, families and fishing enthusiasts gathered at a special tournament event recently.
The community turned out in full force for the 25th Anniversary Fishbites Event & Surf Fishing Tournament, helping raise $9,248 in support of Matanzas Riverkeeper, a non-profit dedicated to protecting and preserving the Matanzas River and its surrounding waterways.
An impressive turnout of 139 anglers lined the shoreline for a day filled with competition, camaraderie and coastal stewardship. With strong community engagement, tournament organisers celebrated not only the fishing achievements but also the meaningful environmental impact made possible through attendee contributions.
Florida-based Fishbites president and CEO, Terry Dillinger, said: “We’re incredibly grateful for the anglers, supporters, and partners who showed up and helped us make this anniversary event one to remember.
“The generosity of our community directly supports the protection of our waterways; a cause central to the heart of our company.”
Alongside the $9,248 donation to Matanzas Riverkeeper, multiple winners across tournament categories scooped more than $5,000 in cash and prizes.
