Smitson Earns DBFN Championship Birth On Nanticoke River!

 

 

Maryland Pro Melvin Smitson earns a championship birth on the Nanticoke River. To qualify for this Delaware Bass Federation Nation Championship anglers must fish a majority of the 5 regular season open team tournaments through out the year on tidal rivers that include the Nanticoke River. The Top 7 Teams that showed up to each of the regular season events go on to fish the Delaware Bass Federation Nation Championship on October 4th.

 

We caught up with Melvin and here is what he had to say about the Championship news...

 

 

"When I found out that I qualified for the championship I was pretty pumped up! The Nanticoke River is one of my favorite tidal rivers, I have been fishing the Nanticoke River since child hood and I'm still discovering new places to fish to this day. Maryland DNR has done a great job of stocking largemouth bass on the Nanticoke / Marshyhope and all those bass are growing up now so it makes it that much more exciting to get out on the river and fish."

 

The Delaware Bass Federation Nation Championship on the Nanticoke River will be a winner take all event. Official boat launch and weigh - in will be held at Phillips Landing, in Broad Creek, Delaware.

 

 

"I will be fishing this Championship with my Dad, I can't what to see the look in his eyes and the smile on his face when I tell him that we qualified. Special thanks to Zeko Shoes for sponsoring me this year. It's been a honor to represent Zeko Shoes during the entire 2014 DBFN season." - Zeko Shoes Pro Melvin Smitson
