s far as fishing on the Bay goes, what’s on your bucket list? Ever caught a summer flounder? Does the aggressive bluefish still elude you? How about a snakehead? Here at PropTalk HQ, we’re already plotting, dreaming, and scheming for the day when we can splash the boat and drop some lines. And new for 2015, PropTalk is excited to launch a contest encouraging recreational anglers to explore the Bay’s incredible bounty. Introducing the 2015 PropTalk Fishing Challenge. Think you can catch 10 fish this year? Sure you can. How about 10 fish, all of a different species? Start keeping track starting January 1. We’re looking for the exclusive group of anglers who can catch 10 different species throughout the calendar year. Send us your pictures throughout the year, and we’ll reward your efforts with cool swag. And at the end of the year, if you’ve successfully managed to catch 10 different species, there will be a party in your honor, hosted by PropTalk. While we love a good trophy tournament, we aren’t concerned with the size of your catch. In fact, we highly encourage catch and release to ensure that this contest will continue in perpetuity. Don’t have a boat? No worries; you don’t need one to participate. So what do you say? Ready to start dreaming and scheming with us? Be sure to check out the February issue of PropTalk for all the details on entering the contest. And let’s make 2015 the year we really get out there and do some fishing!
