Just an update. I don’t know how long this page has been up, but I just found it the other week. Bare with the newbie. On this page you will find most of the new info for our sport in MD. There are links for bass basics, fish care, licensing, tides, etc. The applications for permits and new Option 2 forms are there. Also you will find a list of all the tournaments who have filed for a permit, including what group, body of water, ramp, date/time. Might be nice to check out, whether planning an event or looking for one on an empty weekend. I recommend checking it out. Tight lines.

Hi everybody. I know I have been posting a lot about MD, and it’s desperate attempts to get control of it’s Bass fishing resources on the Chesapeake Bay. It’s the biggest thing going on the eastern side of the state and Mid-Atlantic Bass community right now. Changes are happening almost weekly. FLW and B.A.S.S. have also addressed it, and seem to have gotten the MD DNR to reconsider it’s position. I would also like to thank you all again for your support and comments, It seems they heard us too. Don’t be surprised if more changes come as the year goes on. They are truly going to change some things for 2017! Everybody is paying attention now. Which is good! It’s what we need to survive and promote our sport. I will continue to keep us up to date on any changes. Hopefully, all the organizations and interests involved can come to a agreement on how to bring back the Chesapeake Bay Bass fishing to what it once was. Everybody is going to have to give a little. Below I am posting the new Special Conditions for Black Bass tournaments without the Slot Limit Stipulation and application the TDs will be using. See ya on the water!
