Red Citation size question

[Pinch]

If I am reading right any size red drum in the Chesapeake Bay is a Maryland Citation.

[Redyak]

That is the way I am reading it. As long as it is catch and release.

That's correct. I have a citation for a 10" redfish. That's the only citation I have.



I thought about sending one in this year just to get into the seafood festival, but it kind of seems too easy this year.

EDIT: Actually, I just checked the current entrants list for the Maryland Fishing Challenge, and there are a good number of redfish entered. Maybe I'll enter one after all...

Regarding the Maryland Fishing Challenge ceremony and drawing, it is scheduled for Sat Sept 8, the same day as the CBKA tournament. You have to show up in person between 7:00 - 10:00 am to show your citation certificate and register for the prize drawing. The ceremony begins at 10:00 am. Because of that event and some other family things that came up since I signed up for the CBKA tournament, I will need to skip the tournament this year. I hope this does not affect too many other CBKA registrants.

You don't have to be there in person, you can sign to have someone go for you. I actually have 3 tickets to the event so my mom is going with some of her friends.

Oh cool, thanks for the info... maybe I'll get my first citation for the 14" red i caught a few days ago.

[surfdog]

you need to have a pix and measure length and girth. did bother with turning any in this year for a palm size to 12" red i would feel silly and the seafood festival is going down hill more every year. my wife got her first red yesterday in the severn along with her first fish on a spinner a 11.5 blackback wp

I caught 2 14 inch reds over the weekend only got pics of one but I plan on submitting it for my citation

Out of curiosity what was the girth of your 14"

Uhm... i'm gonna leave that blank and see if they give it to me. I have no clue.

[Shady]

I attempted to email my C&R redfish citation form to Keith Lockwood before going on vacation, we'll see if I have a citation waiting for me at home...

[KbowersRiverBum]

I thought you had to go into a citation center? The closest one to me is like 30-40 min away. I was unaware you could email it in. Do u have a link or email address you used?

[Southerly]

i think the regular method for C and R citation is to take your pic(s) to a citation center. they review and fill out a little info in their book, rip out a ticket stub with unique number and give to you. you then go online, fill out the online registration/entry form info including the number on your ticket stub. about 2 weeks later, your citation arrives in the mail.

[surfdog]

it took them 6 months to send my citation last year and it was beat to crap in the mail

measured a 11" red yesterday and the girth was 4 and 1/8"
