DCMSSA: April 4, Capt Greg Buckner, Trophy Trolling
 

All,

The big fish are here! The DC Metro MSSA chapter will meet Wednesday April 4, 7:30pm at Steamers Seafood house in Bethesda. Relax, enjoy a cold beer, and good food while we discuss all manner of saltwater fishing topics. This month’s speaker is Captain Greg Buckner ( www.misssusiecharters.com )! Most of us have fished with Greg on the Miss Susie on one of our chapter trips. Greg has supported the DC MSSA since the chapter’s inception, and will be sharing many of his tips and insight on trolling for big spring rockfish. Greg will also bring some parachutes, hooks, swivels etc for sale. Bring a guest to their first DCMSSA meeting and I will buy you a beer.
