It was reported in the Baltimore Sun this past Sunday so it’s now official, I and eleven other members have been appointed by the Governor of Maryland to the Sport Fish Advisory Commission. Only a few older members return to the list with a host of new ones. I was sworn in this week and will start work when the meetings resume in September. Many members of the Maryland fishing community know me from the TidalFish.com website that I also run which is why you see that listed after my name.

Candus Thomson reported in her outdoor column in the Baltimore Sun on Sunday:
