Report from Bill's Fishing
Shack By Bill Johnson
Rockfish are beginning to stage off Virginia Beach. As the Bay water reaches the mid 50's, they'll be headed to the Bay to spawn.
Hopefully by the 19th the big ones will be in the mid Bay.
Legislative Issues
Freedom to Fish Act - Senate Bill 535 was presented by the MSSA on March 7th. Chapter members Bill Johnson, Walter Shaw, Gordon
Jernigan and Bill Snyder attended the hearing to show their support. Thanks guys. House Bill 1160 does not have a hearing date yet
but we encourage you to contact your legislators and have them support this. We have 386,430 licensed fisherman in the state of
Maryland and less than 5% belong to some type of fishing organization. Don't think someone else will do it, make time and make a
personal call to you representative.
