Mark Sampson: New reefs are popping up all over
|

The new fishing season might seem like a long way off but we're really
only a couple months away from when folks will begin extracting fishing
rods from attics and sheds, pulling winter tarps from their boats, and
reviewing their charts, just to make extra sure they're set and ready
for the fun times ahead. The natural optimism found in most anglers may
foster aspirations for a new fishing season filled with beautiful
weather and stringers full of big fish. But in these times when it seems
fishermen are so often hampered by political, environmental, and
economic issues, even the most optimistic angler can sometimes have
trouble keeping a smile on their face when the winter news carries so
many headlines of "doom and gloom." So it's always refreshing to hear
some good news about positive developments within the fishing industry.
On that note, let me reintroduce to you the Ocean City Reef Foundation
and MARI.
