The Division of Fish and Wildlife held its sixth annual Fishing Photo Contest in 2016. The contest theme was “Fishing with Family or Friends.” Entry photos had to be taken in Delaware and depict anglers participating in fishing activities. Division of Fish and Wildlife Director David Saveikis, local photographer Freda Barrett and fisheries biologist Bruce Cole, both DNREC employees, served as judges and reviewed the 19 entries received. First place was awarded to Shenna Bogetti of Dover. Shenna took the photo of her daughter Mackenzie and husband Brian while fishing for Black Drum on the Delaware Bay. Second place was awarded to Christine Fletcher of Milton for her photo of Ernie Fletcher on Reynolds Pond. Third place was awarded to Amy Baldwin of Newark for her photo of her daughter Ella surf fishing at Cape Henlopen State Park.
