Oysters

Sponsored by CBF, Chesapeake Oyster Alliance, and Coastal Conservation Association Maryland. 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). In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by the size of fish caught. 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 (a link to the app will be provided after registering). See our map of restored oyster reefs in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay and tributaries.
