Championship on the Chesapeake April 21
Kick off the rockfish season right with The Boatyard Opening Day Rockfish Tournament at Boatyard Bar & Grill in Annapolis. Fisherman, and friends, take to the bay for a day of “catch & release” for a chance to win awesome prizes and to support three great causes – the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Coastal Conservation Association of Maryland, and the Annapolis Police Department’s Youth Fishing Camp. Not a fisherman – it’s okay, you can celebrate at Boatyard Bar & Grill’s after-party complete with live music and great food.
