17th ANNUAL MAR-VA OFFSHORE TOURNAMENT AUG 22-24
The MSSA MAR-VA OFFSHORE TOURNAMENT is coming soon to a Seaside Port near you. Weigh Stations will be located in Ocean City MD, Chincoteague, and Wachapreague VA. This is a small but exciting tournament that offers both the beginner and experienced Offshore Angler numerous ways to win cash and prizes. Trolling and Chunking are permitted which expands the techniques available to participating anglers. Tournament Rules and an entry form can be found at the MSSA Main Website (www.mssa.net) and in the 2008 Tournament Brochure.
The MSSA also operates a Bluewater Partner Program to assist newcomers to Offshore Fishing. This program links you up with a Captain(s) who can provide Mentoring and a Buddy System while participating in the Tournament. Please contact Pete Abbott or Kevin McMenamin if you want more information on this program.
Please note that the Marlin Category has been eliminated from this Tournament based on regulation changes from NMFS that would require circle hook useage on all natural baits.

Welcome to the Annapolis Chapter of the MSSA.
The MSSA is working to provide a unified voice to preserve and protect the rights, traditions and the future of recreational saltwater fishing in Maryland. If you are a Saltwater Fisherman, then you should be a Member of the MSSA. And if you live, work or fish in the greater Annapolis Area, we invite you to join the Annapolis Chapter.
