Inshore anglers getting involved with science-based fishery management
The Snook Foundation today launches the Angler Action Program, with an online logbook that gives inshore anglers the chance to become part of the solution to declining fish stocks. Data collected by anglers will contribute to sound, science-based fishery management decisions.
An easy-to-use form can be completed by anglers while fishing and then transcribed directly onto the internet, and meetings are scheduled for those who prefer direct instruction and more hands-on experience (including fishing!)

Some lures catch the eye of snook; some just catch the angler
Fish can indeed smell and evidence is that they respond to pheromones by instinct
Artificials have come a long way, baby.
My grandpa’s tackle box had plenty of worm hooks and bobbers, but any lures were made of wood, metal, or some combination of the two. In fact, I remember him chastising my dad when he broke from tradition and used rubber worms, way back in the day when they came pre-rigged with two hooks, a few beads, a propeller and a mono loop in front where dad attached a snap swivel.
The evolution of lures has not slowed with the economy, as manufacturers figure out new ways to appeal to the most obvious senses that fish use to feed, those being sight and smell.
