Throughout the year, we could not host these successful fishing camps, clinics, and events without the help of all our volunteers! Thank you in advance for the hard work you will be doing this summer!![]()

Did you know? Both the Men’s and Women’s 60-kg (130 lb) Line Class World Records for dolphinfish are currently vacant. To qualify a fish must weigh at least 29.48-kilograms (65-pounds) and be landed on line breaking over 80 lb test and under 130 lb test. While a 65-pound dolphinfish is no small feat the opportunity exists! ![]()

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released the 2021 Report to Congress on the Status of U.S. Fisheries which includes information on the health and sustainability of fish stocks caught by both recreational and commercial fisheries. In 2021, U.S. fisheries held steady with more than 90% of stocks not subject to overfishing, and 80% not overfished. The number of stocks on the overfishing list also held steady at 26, and the number of overfished stocks slightly increased to 51, up from 49. ![]()
