Free Fishing Friday   CBMM’s Free Fishing Friday program invites community members of all ages for catch-and-release fishing on select Fridays from 3:30-5:30pm during fishing season. Join us for this weather-permitting, drop-in program that teaches the basics of fishing, including casting techniques and fish identification. No fishing license or equipment is required to participate. Fishing rods and bait are provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own fishing pole. Children under 10 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. Anyone interested in participating should contact Youth and Community Programs Manager Amy Mangor at 410-745-4974 or amangor@cbmm.org.
