Fishing That Gives Back 🎣🎓

The 2026 CCA Florida STAR Youth Fishing Competition presented by Yamaha Outboards may be over, but the impact of STAR goes far beyond just catching fish.

STAR gives young anglers the opportunity to fish for saltwater species, enter their catches through the iAngler Tournament System App, and be eligible for incredible prizes which includes boat, Yamaha motor & trailer packages, electronics, trolling motors and tackle plus $100,000 in college scholarships through random drawings.

And it didn’t stop there.

The STAR Trash Division encouraged young anglers to collect trash while on the water, helping protect Florida’s coastal waters while earning community service hours for every qualifying 5-gallon bucket of trash collected.

STAR, a great way for Florida’s youth to combine fishing, conservation, community service, scholarships, and time outdoors—all while making a real difference.

That’s what CCA Florida STAR is all about: creating opportunities for young anglers while protecting the waters they love.

A huge thank you to every 2026 STAR Youth participant who took the time to collect trash while fishing and submitted a photo of a full 5-gallon bucket of trash alongside their official STAR Identifier.
