The DC Metro MSSA chapter had a great day aboard the Miss Susie out of Solomon’s island on April 22. Ten anglers caught their limit on the afternoon trip, with the big fish being 47”. Wes won $50 in the big fish pool. Eight year old Ryan caught the most fish. The captain, Greg Buckner, and the mate, Tad, were fantastic. Everyone had a great time and can’t wait to do it all again. Anyone who fishes out of their own boat can really appreciate a charter. It is great to let a good captain and mate run all the gear for you for the day. Well worth the price of admission. We plan to do a chapter trip quarterly, so stay tuned for the next opportunity.
If you have any pictures from this chapter event to share, please contact Jeremy Bendler (President@dcmssa.org) for details on how to share.
If you were on the trip and want to share additional details, or missed the trip and have questions, please use the Facebook DCMSSA Page Discussion Board or comments below.

We are pleased to announce our first chapter trip of 2010. This trip is highly anticipated in the wake of the December ‘09 trip being cancelled due to mother nature. The DCMSSA will venture out with Captain Greg Buckner on the “Miss Susie” out of Solomons Island, trolling for springtime rockfish. The date of the trip is Thursday April 22, 2010, departing the marina at 1pm. The cost for this trip is $100 (not including tip).
Details, preparation and post reports on Facebook DCMSSA Page Discussion Board.
Send in some pictures of your past rockfish catch via email to President@dcmssa.org – we’ll see how the first chapter trip of 2010 compares…
Thanks,

Our chapter will have tables at a few upcoming events in efforts to gain publicity and promote membership. The chapter needs YOUR HELP in spreading the word. If you’re interested in volunteering to man the DCMSSA booth at some scheduled events, please contact the Chapter President, Jeremy Bendler via email at President@dcmssa.org.
Thanks,

DCMSSA needs to get the input of our membership and formulate a chapter position to pass on to the main MSSA. Please provide your feedback on this important issue over email by October 1.
This topic is Hot Hot Hot. Do you feel that Catch & Release fishing should be allowed during the spring in the Chesapeake Bay (January – Opening Day) (Pre-Spawn & Spawn)? Should gear be restricted in some way, i.e. limited number of rods on boats, single hook only, barbless hook only, circle hook only etc? Would you prefer limited opening of the C&R season i.e. open one day a week during the spring? Please consider not only your enjoyment of the Catch & Release fishing in the spring, but the impact of such actions on the migratory striped bass population for the rest of the year and seasons to come.
There are as many answers as there are members of the MSSA. Please be concise in your responses, but provide some reasoning or justification for your views.
I look forward to your responses emailed to Jeremy Bendler (President@dcmssa.org), which will be kept confidential.
Thanks,
Jeremy
