Trophy Striper Tournament Results
After 5 cancelled tournament days due to small craft advisories, we finally had a fishable day on Sunday May 19th. However, angling for the large migrating rockfish was very difficult. Many hours were logged but there were no tournament entries.
ACE Hardware of Kilmarnock has agreed to move their tournament sponsorship to the Spanish Lessons tournament in August.

New Rockfish Tournament Reporting Requirement
In order to hold a tournament in Maryland water for Rockfish the Maryland DNR requires entries to be weighed and measured to the nearest 1/4 inch. NNAC has received approval from the Maryland DNR to conduct tournaments for Rockfish during 2013. We will submit the required information to the DNR based on the entry form information completed by participants.
This applies only for Rockfish. Be sure to add the length (to nearest 1/4 inch) to your tournament entry form for Rockfish and indicate that it was caught in Maryland water (water under Maryland DNR jurisdiction including tributaries of the Potomac). The entry forms do not have a specific line item for this information. You can add it anywhere on the form.
