All,

I hope you have all been enjoying the great weather and are out finding the big fish! The DC Metro MSSA chapter will meet Wednesday March 7, 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 world famous author, light tackle enthusiast and C&R advocate Shawn Kimbro! Shawn will be sharing tips on spring light tackle opportunities in the bay, and proper catch & release techniques for these big spring fish. Bring a guest to their first DCMSSA meeting and I will buy you a beer. Shawn should have a few copies of his new book available at the meeting.

We will have raffle tickets available at the meeting also. Proceeds will fund and support the 2012 DCMSSA Kids Day event in the fall. Drawing will be at the May meeting. The prize has an estimate value of $1,200 and includes the following:

All expenses paid trip for up to 4 with Captain Walleye Pete

I wasn't going to say anything, but according to my performance contract you are legally bound to use the phrase "world f&^%ing famous."
