The 31st Annual Laura Leach Fishing Tournament will be held during the ASMFC Annual meeting in Annapolis, MD, whenever people have time to fish, starting Sunday afternoon 10/20 and ending Wednesday 10/23. 100% of proceeds from the entry fee go to the Catch More Mentorship Academy

Some suggested shore locations include Jonas and Anne Catharine Green County Park (Free Fishing Pier, no license required), Sandy Point State Park, and Quiet Waters County Park (on the South River), and the beach at CBF-Philip Merrill Environmental Center will be on a flyer available at the tournament registration table or via email from Erik.Zlokovitz@maryland.gov
