Fort Meade - USNA - Andrews AFB: Countdown to the Annual Maryland Fishing Challenge

NEW TO MARYLAND?  Like to fish?  

You're in luck, because the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and local businesses are kicking off the 2008 Maryland Fishing Challenge in exactly two hours, 32 minutes and 8 seconds. 

You may have read my wrap-up of the Fishing Challenge in 2007, but I'm catching it at the beginning this year (yes, pun intended). 

 

Here's how the Maryland Fishing Challenge works:

Any angler who catches a citation award qualifying fish will be eligible to win one of several grand prizes including a boat and trailer from Bass Pro Shops, a 2008 Toyota Tundra 4x4, a prize package from Bill's Outdoor Center, and even a $5,000 diamond from Smyth Jewelers.

Beginning in early June, anglers will also have the opportunity to win up to $25,000 in cash, compliments of Boater's World, for the capture of Diamond Jim - one of many specially tagged striped bass that will be released - along with a number of imposters - at three major events. 

Now, you have to admit, THIS is a good excuse to go fishing!  In fact, $25,000 is almost enough to make me give it a try.  It's probably no more elusive than a ratified contract on real estate these days.

Now don't laugh.  I actually spent my honeymoon camping on an island and fishing somewhere in Canada - but that's a story for another day.
