Here's a little Tuesday morning inspiration for our fisheries advocates. Now grab that shovel and start digging, we will need you all next week.
There are certain public comments that catch your attention. In the case of a recent meeting for Atlantic bonito and false albacore management, Mr. Paul Osimo's time on the microphone was so notable we had to track him down for an additional conversation.
Tony and Cody provide a rapid reaction to last night's Rhode Island saltwater fisheries meeting where management of false albacore and Atlantic bonito was discussed.
ASGA's President Tony Friedrich breaks down a call to action for Rhode Island anglers and business owners.
Tony and Cody jump on for a quick discussion of a North Carolina striped bass article that is currently trending...
Cody and Tony wind down the year with some thoughts on what went down in 2025 and what's set up for 2026.
Tony and Cody stop by the Guide Post to chop it up about current events.
ASGA's Policy Director Tony Friedrich is joined by Dr. Michael Wilberg of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. The two discuss new research that explores the natural mortality of striped bass.
The “most important fish in the sea” just exposed one of the biggest management failures in decades. A new assessment shows Atlantic menhaden quotas were set 300 million pounds too high. The fallout could reshape both the Atlantic and Gulf fisheries — and what happens next is up to us. Our Association stands firm on three statements: (1) The Atlantic fishery needs to "take the cut", and the industrial reduction fleet needs to front a majority of that reduction. We can no longer accept half the coastwide TAC being taken from the Chesapeake Bay. (2) The Gulf fishery lacks a TAC/Quota. It is shocking that an industrial operation of this scale has no upper limit in 2025. This can no longer be true. (3) Buffer zones should not be repealed in any capacity.
