Beacon Hill Hosts First Annual Mark McDonald Celebrity Fishing Tournament

Future resident and Pro-Fisherman Bryan Zara of South Texas showing off 4th Prize at the First Annual Mark McDonald Celebrity Fishing Tournament recently held at Beacon Hill’s Interior Lake Ava Rosett.

“Our turnout was sensational. We are busy calculating our weight totals from this afternoons tournament and we will post them on our next blog”, quotes Mark McDonald, Beacon Hill’s Chief Wildlife Officer and organizer of the annual tournament that bears his name. “Compared to other tournaments going on today all over the state, including here on Cedar Creek Lake, nothing compares to the average size of 5.5 to 6 Pounds today for our top 6 fish caught, in the pre-spawn season to boot!) quotes McDonald.

Future Residents and their guests at Beacon Hill on Cedar Creek Lake can enjoy year round fishing at the interior Lake Ava Rosetta or the Community’s North End Shore, now known as the up and coming fishing mecca of East Texas.
