Are you going to have the all MSSA crew option for the Fall tournament? I know last year you did, but it was because the all MSSA crew form was accidently posted on the website. By the way Dave, just want to say that you do an awesome job, along with alltackle to make the captains meeting fun, along with the tournament.

Thank you for your support.

Yes, we will be awarding All MSSA Crews. It will be the same format as the spring. Any Captain who has an All MSSA Crew, and weighs in the heaviest fish on each day of the tournament will win an extra $500. We will do this for both days, so there will be a total of $1,000.

Hello all! New to the site and striper/Rockfish fishing. Figured I could learn and help out at the same time by offering myself as a crew member if anyone needs assistance. I live in Greenbelt, MD so I'm not too far from the Bay bridge. Let me know if I can be of assistance. I plan to attend the Wed Captains meeting in Annapolis.
Thanks in advance,

-Jorden

ATTENTION Tournament Anglers!

It has been brought to my attention that the most recent edition of Tidelines does not include Point Lookout as a weigh station.

POINT LOOKOUT STATE PARK IS A WEIGH STATION

Sorry for the confusion and if you have any further questions please call the MSSA office at 410-255-5535

Again, I apologize for the error

Due to a last minute cancellation I (Capt. Greg Buckner aboard MISS SUSIE II) am now available for charter and MSSA Tournament buy In this coming Saturday. I originally had one crew booked for both days and tournament buy in. They bailed on me 3 weeks ago and I very quickly re booked this coming Sunday and as of a few hours ago I thought I had this coming Saturday re booked. But as fate would have it the re booked crew fell apart and I now have a prime Saturday date available. The plan is to have the Saturday charter crew and Sundays charter crew split the full buy in for the MSSA Tournament ($975 with all Calcuttas), if and when we win the prize money will be split evenly between the day 1 and day 2 crews (essentially doubling your chances to win big cash).

The weather is foretasted to be a little sloppy, so if want to fish the tourney but dont want to get beat up all day fishing your smaller boat, this may be a perfect opportunity for you. And myself and my first mate have a beautiful 32 rod spread rigged and ready and we have been catching the big fish every day since list Friday. The MISS SUSIE II (formerly FIN FINDER) won $40,000 in last years tournament with Capt. Andrew Turner and Capt. Lee Tippett as crew, she also won $40,000 in last winters mid Atlantic shootout. So she is on a roll and ready to win big this weekend..............

If you are interested please call me a 301 873-1327

Regular charter rate will apply of $750 for the first 6, plus $75 for each additional passenger over the first 6.

Thanks and Cant Wait to catch the big one. If you want to see a full list of pics from the past few days please view my facebook page by visiting www.MissSusieCharters.com
