CRISFIELD — Anglers
can now sign up for the third annual Huk Performance Fishing-CCA Red
Trout Catch & Release Tournament, Sept. 18-20 in Crisfield.
The
tournament, headquartered at Somers Cove Marina, will host many of
our region'’s top light tackle, fly, and kayak anglers. This year a
live bait category has been added. The tourney promotes sustainable,
catch-and-release fishing methods where anglers photograph their
catch for digital submittals in lieu of a weigh in.
“The
Crisfield/Tangier Sound area boasts some of the best redfish and
speckled trout fishing on the Eastern Seaboard. Winners will be
selected based on the total length of their three longest fish caught
Saturday and Sunday. At least one of those three fish must be a
speckled trout or redfish. The remaining two can be a striped bass,
flounder, bluefish, or additional speckled trout and redfish.
Categories
include a boat division for bait and light tackle anglers and
individual divisions for fly and kayak anglers. Boat teams will
consist of two fishermen. All entrants must attend check-in meetings
Friday and Saturday nights where food will be served.
All
rules and registration information can be found on the CCA MD
website, www.ccmd.org.
The
tournament was founded in 2013 to draw attention to the value of
redfish and speckled trout that recently have been making a comeback
in the Chesapeake Bay.
