Know the Water. Find the Fish. 🎣📍

Having the right tools on the boat can change the way you fish. From identifying structure to finding productive areas and quietly positioning the boat, technology can help anglers make the most of every trip.

That's why Humminbird serves as the official electronics provider and Minn Kota as the official trolling motor of the 2026 CCA Florida STAR Youth Competition presented by Yamaha Outboards.

For young anglers exploring Florida's flats, bays, estuaries, and inshore waters, these trusted products can help turn time on the water into more productive—and more memorable—fishing adventures.

The STAR competition is about getting kids outside, building fishing skills, and creating a lifelong connection to Florida's fisheries.
