All sizes of many species can be logged in Angler Action.org. Data is stored and available to individual anglers and qualified science partners.
The Door Has Opened
Snook and Game Fish Foundation Executive Director Rick Roberts was one of a few recreational anglers selected nationwide to be invited to attend the “Managing our Nations Fisheries 2013 Conference,” held last week in Washington DC.
Because SGF is recognized as being on the front-lines of cooperative research, the organization was chosen to participate in discussions of ways to improve management of marine fisheries, including more and better data.
Rick provided the following update:Last week’s conference was marked by an historic acknowledgment by leaders including NOAA Assistant Administrator, Eric Schwaab, that recreational angler data is needed. The door has opened. Now it's up to anglers to go fishing and log their catch!

Well known to a global pack of rabid and loyal fans, JJ has been considered an old soul kind of writer who generates music that settles somewhere between joyous passion and reckless abandon.
When compared to his earlier works, This River manages to come off as more refined in the sense that there is a more cohesive feel throughout the album and as always the band is so incredibly tight. At the same time, you feel the energy that threatens to bust each song out at the seams – all of which leads to live shows that are unparalleled in the industry.

In increasing numbers, anglers are giving back to the resource by capturing needed fish info. photo credit: Evan Jones.Fisheries Innovation Fund will further Angler Action's technical and communications advances.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) announced that is awarding funds to the Snook and Gamefish Foundation for the purpose of enhancing the Angler Action Program (AAP), including it's mobile iAngler apps.
Over the last year Angler Action participants recorded catch facts from 3,244 anglers who logged 13,919 fish in Florida alone. Their trips records are available for their personal use in an electronic log, while critical data regarding fish length and numbers are shared with fishery scientists. Recreational Anglers and science partners alike give continuing feedback for needed improvements. Based on their combined input the program is evolving to better meet the needs of both user groups.
The NFWF grant will make it possible to add programing that will speed the process of recording data, thus limiting the time fish stay out of the water while capturing more important information. The grant also provides for innovations to broaden the user base and outreach. Program adaptations to accommodate more states and types of fishing and more user devices are planned. The Fisheries Innovation Fund Award from NFWF will provide $80,000. SGF will secure matching funds from other sources to complete this project.
According to studies by the American Sportfishing Associatoin, recreational anglers only take 2% of the marine fish harvest but contribute 50% of the marine fishing economy. Recreational Anglers also create beneficial environmental impacts by giving back to the resource, through programs like Angler Action. Anglers who log their catch with iAngler/Angler Action are increasing the effective collection of useful data for stock assessment: www.angleraction.org

Additcitve Fishing producer Kevin McCabe shares insights about Addictive Fishing.Addictive Fishing producer Kevin McCabe shares his view from behind the camera.
Editor’s note: This interview is part of a series with Outdoor Hub’s featured video partners, and was originally run in the Outdoor Hub on April 5.
This week we are joined by Addictive Fishing producer Kevin McCabe in an interview about filming, fishing, and the industry in general. Kevin has been with Addictive Fishing since its inception and is the driving force behind the scenes to produce one of the longest-running and most successful shows in the business. Maintaining both a presence in online platforms like YouTube as well as television, Addictive Fishing aims to both exhilarate and educate.
Kevin or “Mr. Producerman,” as the crew calls him, continues to be a ceaseless innovator and strives to produce top-notch entertainment for anglers. We are pleased he was able to sit down with us for an interview.
Outdoor Hub: So, tell me about the Addictive Fishing story and how you got here today.
Kevin McCabe: Well, we’re in our fourteenth year. We are a saltwater fishing show based here in Florida and we’ve been streaming on the internet since before YouTube was a thing.
The show is what we’d like to call “rod bending drag screaming” television.” It’s of course hosted by Captain Blair Wiggins. He has been a fishing guide for most of his life until we started doing this TV show. What’s interesting about our partnership is that we’ve known each other since the second grade. We grew up back in the day, elementary school through high school. There is nobody better suited to host this show than Blair. We spent our early years fishing and then graduated high school. I went to Tampa for the University of South Florida. He went off to the Air Force. We came back to our home town for our ten-year high school reunion and shortly thereafter we started the show.

Once again, River Palm
Cottages (Jensen Beach) was ground zero for a flurry of SGF activity that was
highlighted by 49 
Capt. Danny Barrow took time to discuss the importance of collecting recreational fishing data through the Angler Action Program.anglers competing in a one-of-a-kind fishing tournament.
The event supported the Angler Action Program, SGF’s recreational angler data collection system that is already giving anglers a measure of clout in the fishery science world.
TCSC anglers fished throughout the night, trying to tease snook all along the Treasure Coast using artificial lures only. Lots of good data was collected, some new faces were introduced to the program, and over 100 guests soaked in some good times, great food, and a large variety of raffle prizes.
RJ Ferraro (left) is recognized by TCSC Chairman Tom Lewis for catching the longest snook of the night, a 40-incher.Tom Lewis of First Light tackle was the tournament Chairman and the primary tackle sponsor. “I was snook
fishing with Drew (Wickstrom, Tournament Director) one night and we started
talking about throwing a tournament to introduce more anglers to First Light
Tackle,” Tom said. That very first conversation was during this past December –
not a lot of time to conceptualize and organize a fishing tournament!
Tom, Drew and a handful of very dedicated volunteer committee members got right to work, meeting weekly to discuss sponsors, rules, ideas, and how to best highlight the AAP. “All along I knew I wanted to benefit the Snook & Gamefish Foundation, so calling Rick Roberts (Executive Director, SGF) was one of our first moves.”
The entire process ended up as a model example of how different organizations can work together very effectively. Committee members worked with SGF staff and volunteers to map out the data collection process. FWC/FWRI were brought into the mix to help tag a few fish for the purpose of offering a “bounty” of $500 for 3 snook as well as educating the public on the latest snook research and ongoing programs.

A young man who practices what he preaches: Habitat protection, best practices fish handling, and AAP logging.‘Be Smart. Be Clean.
Enjoy.”
You don’t have to be a Boy Scout to come up with a sensible
motto like
that, but for 17 year-old Kenny DiBiase of Sanibal Island it fit his Eagle
Scout project like a glove.
Kenny’s project was built around educating the local public on water quality issues, and ways us every day folk can be sure to do our part in protecting and improving the quality of our waters.
Over a span of several months, Kenny gave many live talks to community groups, and created road signs (which had to be approved and installed by the city). He spoke to the City of Sanibel Council and many other clubs as part of his plan to educate as many people as possible about his very important project.
Kenny’s project culminated with a flurry of activity that
included organizing educational booths at 5 different locations. This required
training and preparing 30 volunteers, who manned sites at bait and tackle
stores, grocery stores, and other high traffic areas.

Winner of the Angler Action User Survey Prize Giveaway, Robby Peterson fishes SW Florida. He won an Orvis Fly Rod and Reel when his name was chosen from survey participants. (see results below)Anglers Shaping the Future of Fishing
Anglers have something vital to contribute to our sport: the facts of their fishing trips. The Angler Action Program (AAP) is starting its fourth year as an evolving tool for capturing recreational catch data. The trip and catch information entered by anglers becomes a private log, but most importantly is being put to use by fishery scientists. The AAP's standardized method of data collection, developed through team work between fishers and biologists, makes this possible.
Each year, the program has improved based on input from both anglers and fishery researchers. In 2012, with support from National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Norcross Foundation, we established angleraction.org (the permanent online portal for entering catch records), and iAngler free phone apps which let you add fish info from your smartphone, ipad, or tablet. Your feedback, ideas and resources are the driving force for continued improvement. We welcome your feedback at any time through This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Here is where we are today and what we hope to achieve in the year ahead.

My fishing reports end with the admonition, “Life is short- go fishing!”
I was talking to an old friend on the telephone this week. When I first moved to Florida this guy took me under his wing and taught me how to fly fish here. He introduced me to several of the old school Florida Keys guides- Tommy Busciglio, Lee Baker, Nat Ragland. We went fishing with Tommy off Duck Key one morning and jumped a couple big tarpon. We fished in the Everglades. We fished in the lagoons. He showed me how to tie flies that would fool redfish and tarpon. He is a friend and a mentor and I owe him a lot.
Now he has neuropathy. His feet are dead and he can’t fish any more.
It’s all too easy to assume your health will last forever. It won’t. Age, disease, or a stupid accident is all it takes for your precious health to be lost forever. It can happen in a blink.
Take the time to do what you enjoy, today. Take some kids outdoors, if not fishing, then hiking, or paddling, or camping. They don’t often get the opportunity. Everyone now is too hooked on their devices.
Be spontaneous! Have fun! Enjoy yourself!
“The future’s uncertain and the end is always near.” -Jim Morrison
Life is short. Go fishing.

This excerpt is from Capt. Ron Presley's "Secrets from Florida's Master Anglers" click on photo to view this and other books available through Amazon..An old man on a cane was strolling along Seventh Avenue in New York City when he came upon a tourist. The old man stopped the tourist and asked, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”
The unsuspecting tourist replied, “Sorry, I am new in town and don’t know the way to Carnegie Hall.” The old man smiled and said, “Practice, practice, practice.”
Angler’s can learn from the wise old New Yorker and improve their skills through practice. It is natural to just want to go fishing without much preparation, but if you want to be among the 10 percent of anglers that catch 90 percent of the fish you might want to consider the notion of practice. After all, the old axiom that practice makes perfect is more than just a saying.
If you are willing to practice knots you will get very good at tying them; if you are willing to practice casting you will get very good at casting. Willing may be the operative word.
If you are willing to practice when you are not fishing it’s likely to produce huge dividends when you do fish. Of course there is also plenty of time to practice when you are fishing, if you are willing to do it.
Whether fishing with a buddy, spouse, or tournament partner, anglers are often part of a team and the success of the team depends on the skills of the individuals that make up the team. No specialists here. Captain Bouncer Smith, a well known Miami Captain, says a good team is made up of individuals who can play different positions on the team. Being able to play all the positions well requires practice.

Where Credit is Due: SGF Recognizes FWRI Biologist Alexis Trotter.
In 2010, SGF put together Angler Action Program, in order to track the catch and release of post freeze snook by anglers. We worked directly with FWRI Biologist Alexis Trotter and with her able direction designed the questionnaire still in use today for both the iAngler smart phone app and the Angler Action trip record. Angler Action has become the most active self-reporting record of gamefish catch, harvest and release data on the Web.
Based on Trotter's many hours of work at that time and her subsequent assistance in continuing to refine the program, anglers have been able to successfully amass needed data using the AAP. That data was put to use by Dr. Bob Muller in his recent stock assessment of snook.
When SGF asked Dr. Muller "What would you like to receive from anglers to make stock assessments even better in the future? " his reply was simple:
"Your Angler Action site currently is collecting the type of information we need, i.e. date, time, location, number of anglers...and the sizes of all fish caught, not just the harvested fish."
SGF would like to point out the assistance of FWRI's Alexis Trotter to all and to recognize her contribution to the success of the Angler Action Program. With her help we were able to actualize this pioneering effort. To her credit and with her early assistance AAP has grown and is now on the threshold of becoming a prototype for recreational angler data gathering nationally .
Respectfully, Rick Roberts and the SGF Team [log trip here] [learn more about]

Old salts are learning new tricks. Rick Roberts' logged this spotted sea trout. Photo credit: Ron Presley
Historically, recreational anglers have not considered themselves data collectors unless it was for their personal use. Data collection consisted mainly of a fishing log that kept track of what, when, where, why, and how. Information like date, location, weather conditions, fish caught, and baits used were all recorded. The data could be retrieved later to help them in their quest to catch that trophy fish.
That stereotype is changing with the recognized need for new and improved data to be used in the science of fishery management. Recreational anglers are beginning to realize that they can make a significant contribution to science through personal data collection and submission.
