On Sunday, state legislators won’t be casting votes, but instead they’ll cast fishing lures in order to raise money for charity.

The 12th annual Governor’s Cup Charity Bass Tournament will take place at the Birches Campground on Cobbossee Lake in Litchfield. Senators, representatives and members of the legislative staff have been invited to attend.

The catch, measure and release tourney will pit members of the House against members of the Senate, and will raise funds for the March of Dimes.

“This annual Governor’s Cup Charity Bass Tournament is a fun-filled event that challenges House and Senate members to compete against each other, with the biggest winner of all being the March of dimes,” said Roland “Dan” Martin, the commissioner of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. “It is taking place at the height of spawning season and promises to provide plenty of action.”

The day begins at 6 a.m. with breakfast, followed by a day of fishing until 12:30 p.m. An awards ceremony will be held at 1 p.m.

The Maine Bass Federation will provide boats, boat captains, fishing tackle and expert advice.
