Green arranged an afternoon workshop for the Crayfish Association in Green- ville. If you would like more information about crayfish production or processing, contact Green at 919/726-7341. Saltwater anglers, dust off your tackle boxes. It's fishing tournament time. The Division of Marine Fisheries has com- piled a list of 39 saltwater fishing contests scheduled along the Tar Heel coast this year. The tournaments will be sponsored by community and regional fishing clubs and most will take place between May and Oc- tober. The only exception is the North Carolina Saltwater Fishing Tournament, which lasts all year and recognizes the top angler for each species. The contests include several tag and release events, which are encouraged by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a means of helping conserve some species. For more information on tournament en- try requirements, contact the Division of Marine Fisheries in Morehead City. The number is 919/726-7021. If you'd rather hone your angling skills without the pressures of a tournament, at- tend the North Carolina State University.
