Catch the New Haynesville Shale Bass Tournament Website

Each year, the Haynesville Shale Bass Tournament and its governing organization, Chesapeake Employees for Haynesville Communities (CEHC), work to conduct an industry bass tournament in a fun, family friendly atmosphere that will benefit non-profit organizations dedicated to the betterment of the children in the Haynesville Shale area of East Texas and Northwest Louisiana.   The tournament was designed to bring the community of natural gas and oil professionals in Haynesville Shale together in the spirit of sportsmanship and charitable giving.  As a one-day, 150-person event in its first year, the tournament experienced substantial success and has now been expanded to two days and 300 anglers.


In 2010, the two-person Haynesville Shale Bass Tournament raised $20,000 for Gingerbread House and Cara Center, child abuse advocacy groups located in Shreveport, Louisiana.  Each year the CEHC Board meets with various non-profit organizations in the community to choose the group that will receive the proceeds from the tournament.  A different organization is chosen each year to ensure all parts of Haynesville Shale region and all types of agencies benefit from our efforts.  To learn more about the Haynesville Shale Bass Tournament, please visit their new website designed by Gremillion and Pou and programmed by 305 Spin at www.haynesvillebass.org.
