Sponsored by CBF, Chesapeake Oyster Alliance, and Coastal Conservation Association Maryland.
Registration opens early August. Sign up for CBF emails to be first to know about this event and other opportunities.
The Rod & Reef Slam fishing tournament is unlike any other. You don't just win by catching the biggest fish. To celebrate the vast biodiversity oyster reefs support, prizes are instead awarded for how many different species you catch (and release) followed by the size of your fish. Anglers of all skill levels fish on a multitude of restored reef locations throughout Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and record their catches in the tournament app.
