This year the event will be supporting oyster aquaculture in area rivers. We’ll grow em’ and put em’ in places they will be safe to filter the water and help the bay!
It is small enough to be hands on and large enough to draw the big guns in the sport.

I can’t tell you how important this event is to our sport and our community. With the loss of area shops, this is the best way to teach our sport to future generations…
Bring your kids guys.. I’ll make sure they get a casting lesson from the great ones.. something they will never forget
