That’s dolphin fish, mahi mahi, not dolphin porpoise! I have answered some specifics, but now it is time to lay out some basics on fishing for these prolific, blue water acrobats.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Water</strong>\r\nThe first thing to remember is that dolphin, for the most part, are found in blue water. Along the southern Atlantic coast, that usually means the Gulfstream. For all but Florida anglers, that means a small boat is out of luck. The Gulfstream begins moving away from the North American continent around the northern part of Florida. From Jacksonville, the run to the stream is sometimes 80 miles.\r\n\r\nBut, because the stream meanders in and out, and sometimes warm water currents off the stream can move close, dolphin can be found as close in as ten miles during the summer months. There won’t be a lot of them, but they can be caught. You just need to pay attention to the fishing reports.\r\n\r\nIn South Florida and the Florida Keys, the stream runs from three to five miles off the beach, and I have actually caught dolphin over the edge of the reef in forty feet of water or less. Again, it isn’t the norm, but it does happen. So, take account of where you are and plan accordingly.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Season</strong>\r\nWatch and read the fishing reports in your area and see when and where the dolphin are being caught. Dolphin can be caught year round, but in general, the hot season is from about April all the way through to the first cold weather.\r\n\r\nDolphin will stay in the warm waters of the Gulfstream when the surrounding wa- ter is cold. So, winter time means getting right in the stream to fish. In warm and hot weather, the waters surrounding the stream heat up and dolphin will wander in closer to the reef in search of food.\r\n\r\n<strong>Feeding Habits</strong>\r\nDolphin are voracious eaters. They are virtual feeding machines. Although I have had some days when I could not get a school that was swimming under my boat to bite, in general, they live to eat. The lifespan of a dolphin is only five years, and in that time they reach weights of fifty pounds or more.\r\n\r\nAs far as a favorite food, the flying fish has to be close to the top of the list. Great schools of flying fish will leap into the air, gliding the wind currents for several hundred yards to escape a predator fish. They are all over the Gulfstream, and dolphin, among other fish, love them.\r\n\r\nDolphin also feed on ballyhoo, another baitfish common in the area, and on the small fish and crustaceans that live in and around floating Sargasso weed. This weed comes into the Gulfstream from the great Sargasso Sea, a sea within a sea, in the tropical Atlantic. It is home to a variety of sea life, and Dolphin will usually be found patrolling an area of weeds.\r\n\r\nThe Sargasso weeds are free floating. They provide not only food, but shade from the sun (yes, fish need to stay out of the sun just like us!). The weeds tend to be found in long lines that have been formed by current wave action. Some of these weed lines can be a hundred yards wide and stretch for several miles. Others are a few yards wide and only a hundred yards long. Whatever the size, remember that dolphin like them and feed under them.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Tackle</strong>\r\nDolphin fishing is more fun on light tackle. By light, I mean no bigger than thirty pound IGFA class tackle. I actually prefer twenty pound tackle, because the vast majority of dolphin you will catch are under twenty pounds. The occasional big bull dolphin can still be caught on this light tackle; you will simply have to run him down and fight him!\r\n\r\nConventional trolling rods and reels work well, but medium to heavy spinning tackle will work equally as well. Just make sure the reel holds several hundred yards of line.\r\n\r\nI use twenty to thirty pound test monofilament line on my dolphin reels. But, remember, I am specifically targeting dolphin. Charter boats will usually be trolling fifty or even eighty pound line. The beauty of trolling the Gulfstream is that you never know what you will find. So, charter boats – wanting to make sure their paying customers don’t miss a big tuna or wahoo because the line is too light – will use the heavier tackle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Terminal Tackle</strong>\r\nThis is an area that people spend a lot of money on, yet it’s an area that can be so simple. Remember, we are after dolphin. If something else jumps on our line, we want a reasonable chance at catching it, so we need terminal rigs – the business end of the line – to be beefy enough to handle them.\r\n\r\nI use a five foot long, fifty pound test, stainless steel, wire leader. This is the standard wire leader found in any tackle shop, including the big box discount department stores. Why wire? Remember – you never know what you might find. A roving king mackerel or wahoo may jump on your trolled bait, and a monofilament leader will be sliced in half before you ever feel the fish.\r\n\r\n\"But, you can see the wire in all that clear water\", he said. Yes, but you are trolling and skipping a bait on the surface (more on that later).\r\n\r\nI use a number 3 swivel on one end of the leader and a 7/0 single O’shaunessy hook on the other end. When I wrap the wire leader to the hook, I leave a one-half inch tip of the leader at a 90 degree angle to the hook. See one of the pictures for an illustration. This tip is used to hold the ballyhoo bait in place.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bait and Rigging</strong>\r\nBy far my preference in bait both because of availability and success rate is ballyhoo. Fresh or brined are best, but flash frozen work well if you can get them from a repu- table bait source. I place the point of the hook in and under the ballyhoo’s gill plate and run the hook down into the stomach. I force the hook point out the bottom of the fish so that the hook eye and leader are right at the mouth of the ‘Hoo and the hook is turned down under the belly of the bait.\r\n\r\nThis is where the leader tip comes in handy. I force the leader tip through the bot- tom and top jaw of the ballyhoo so that it protrudes just at the front of\r\nthe top lip. With a tie wrap from an old loaf of bread, I wrap the bill and leader tip to keep the mouth of the ballyhoo closed, and then I break off the bill right at the leader.\r\n\r\nSometimes I may use a pink or chartreuse skirt available at most tackle shops. The skirt offers color and protection of the nose area of the bait, but it really is not nec- essary. Commercial nose cone type products are also available, but in my experience not really necessary. That leader tip works just fine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Trolling</strong>\r\nDolphin usually prefer what I call a semi-hot bait. That is, not too slow and not too fast. I place a rod in a rod holder and let line back behind the boat. These are flat lines – ones that are not attached to an outrigger. I put one on each side of the boat back thirty to fifty yards. I run the trolling speed of the boat up until the bait is one the surface and “skipping” with the front of the bait just out of the water. Sometimes I will troll four rods, two way back fifty to sixty yards, one half way back and one bait right up close to the boat in the prop wash.\r\n\r\n<strong>Technique</strong>\r\nFinding and catching dolphin is easy if you follow some basics. • Look for a weed line or any other kind of flotsam in the water. Dolphin will be\r\nunder anything they can find to escape the sun. • Troll the edge of the weed line heading one direction and then crossing and heading back the other direction.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Vary the speed of your troll if you have not attracted a fish. Speed up or slow down – just break the pattern.</li>\r\n	<li>Watch for flying fish. If you spook some flying fish while trolling, chances are dolphin will be in the area. They follow the baitfish.</li>\r\n	<li>Look for birds – either a flock of birds diving or a solitary frigate bird. The flock of birds will usually be on a school of baitfish being chased by bonito or false albacore, but eh dolphin will be in the area as well. A solitary frigate bird will stay over a school of fish – sometimes solitary big fish – looking for an easy meal. It is wise to head their direction as well.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Simplicity</strong>\r\nEverything we talked about can be done with minimal expense and literally no special tackle. Big rods, outriggers, and the like are generally not necessary. Dolphin are very cooperative fish and a bait that skips without spinning and twisting will catch fish if you fish where the dolphin live.'),(4059,261,'excerpt',''),(4060,261,'trackback_url',''),(4061,261,'metakeyselect','#NONE#'),(4062,261,'metakeyinput',''),(4063,261,'metavalue',''),(4064,261,'_ajax_nonce-add-meta','dbe012fbf0'),(4065,261,'advanced_view','1'),(4066,261,'comment_status','open'),(4067,261,'ping_status','open'),(4068,261,'post_name','beginner-dolphin-trolling-basics'),(4069,261,'post_author_override','1'),(4070,261,'post_format','0'),(4071,261,'pyre_featured_image','yes'),(4072,261,'pyre_overall_score','0'),(4073,261,'pyre_critera_1',''),(4074,261,'pyre_critera_1_score','0'),(4075,261,'pyre_critera_2',''),(4076,261,'pyre_critera_2_score','0'),(4077,261,'pyre_critera_3',''),(4078,261,'pyre_critera_3_score','0'),(4079,261,'pyre_critera_4',''),(4080,261,'pyre_critera_4_score','0'),(4081,261,'pyre_critera_5',''),(4082,261,'pyre_critera_5_score','0'),(4083,261,'post_mime_type',''),(4084,261,'ID','261'),(4085,261,'post_content','<h3>Trolling for Dolphin is Simple - Anyone with a Boat Can Do It.</h3>\r\n<strong><em>By Ron Brooks</em></strong>\r\n\r\nOwning a boat, maybe for the first time, and deciding to head offshore, maybe for the first time, a number of readers ask about getting into dolphin fishing.

That’s dolphin fish, mahi mahi, not dolphin porpoise! I have answered some specifics, but now it is time to lay out some basics on fishing for these prolific, blue water acrobats.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Water</strong>\r\nThe first thing to remember is that dolphin, for the most part, are found in blue water. Along the southern Atlantic coast, that usually means the Gulfstream. For all but Florida anglers, that means a small boat is out of luck. The Gulfstream begins moving away from the North American continent around the northern part of Florida. From Jacksonville, the run to the stream is sometimes 80 miles.\r\n\r\nBut, because the stream meanders in and out, and sometimes warm water currents off the stream can move close, dolphin can be found as close in as ten miles during the summer months. There won’t be a lot of them, but they can be caught. You just need to pay attention to the fishing reports.\r\n\r\nIn South Florida and the Florida Keys, the stream runs from three to five miles off the beach, and I have actually caught dolphin over the edge of the reef in forty feet of water or less. Again, it isn’t the norm, but it does happen. So, take account of where you are and plan accordingly.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Season</strong>\r\nWatch and read the fishing reports in your area and see when and where the dolphin are being caught. Dolphin can be caught year round, but in general, the hot season is from about April all the way through to the first cold weather.\r\n\r\nDolphin will stay in the warm waters of the Gulfstream when the surrounding wa- ter is cold. So, winter time means getting right in the stream to fish. In warm and hot weather, the waters surrounding the stream heat up and dolphin will wander in closer to the reef in search of food.\r\n\r\n<strong>Feeding Habits</strong>\r\nDolphin are voracious eaters. They are virtual feeding machines. Although I have had some days when I could not get a school that was swimming under my boat to bite, in general, they live to eat. The lifespan of a dolphin is only five years, and in that time they reach weights of fifty pounds or more.\r\n\r\nAs far as a favorite food, the flying fish has to be close to the top of the list. Great schools of flying fish will leap into the air, gliding the wind currents for several hundred yards to escape a predator fish. They are all over the Gulfstream, and dolphin, among other fish, love them.\r\n\r\nDolphin also feed on ballyhoo, another baitfish common in the area, and on the small fish and crustaceans that live in and around floating Sargasso weed. This weed comes into the Gulfstream from the great Sargasso Sea, a sea within a sea, in the tropical Atlantic. It is home to a variety of sea life, and Dolphin will usually be found patrolling an area of weeds.\r\n\r\nThe Sargasso weeds are free floating. They provide not only food, but shade from the sun (yes, fish need to stay out of the sun just like us!). The weeds tend to be found in long lines that have been formed by current wave action. Some of these weed lines can be a hundred yards wide and stretch for several miles. Others are a few yards wide and only a hundred yards long. Whatever the size, remember that dolphin like them and feed under them.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Tackle</strong>\r\nDolphin fishing is more fun on light tackle. By light, I mean no bigger than thirty pound IGFA class tackle. I actually prefer twenty pound tackle, because the vast majority of dolphin you will catch are under twenty pounds. The occasional big bull dolphin can still be caught on this light tackle; you will simply have to run him down and fight him!\r\n\r\nConventional trolling rods and reels work well, but medium to heavy spinning tackle will work equally as well. Just make sure the reel holds several hundred yards of line.\r\n\r\nI use twenty to thirty pound test monofilament line on my dolphin reels. But, remember, I am specifically targeting dolphin. Charter boats will usually be trolling fifty or even eighty pound line. The beauty of trolling the Gulfstream is that you never know what you will find. So, charter boats – wanting to make sure their paying customers don’t miss a big tuna or wahoo because the line is too light – will use the heavier tackle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Terminal Tackle</strong>\r\nThis is an area that people spend a lot of money on, yet it’s an area that can be so simple. Remember, we are after dolphin. If something else jumps on our line, we want a reasonable chance at catching it, so we need terminal rigs – the business end of the line – to be beefy enough to handle them.\r\n\r\nI use a five foot long, fifty pound test, stainless steel, wire leader. This is the standard wire leader found in any tackle shop, including the big box discount department stores. Why wire? Remember – you never know what you might find. A roving king mackerel or wahoo may jump on your trolled bait, and a monofilament leader will be sliced in half before you ever feel the fish.\r\n\r\n\"But, you can see the wire in all that clear water\", he said. Yes, but you are trolling and skipping a bait on the surface (more on that later).\r\n\r\nI use a number 3 swivel on one end of the leader and a 7/0 single O’shaunessy hook on the other end. When I wrap the wire leader to the hook, I leave a one-half inch tip of the leader at a 90 degree angle to the hook. See one of the pictures for an illustration. This tip is used to hold the ballyhoo bait in place.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bait and Rigging</strong>\r\nBy far my preference in bait both because of availability and success rate is ballyhoo. Fresh or brined are best, but flash frozen work well if you can get them from a repu- table bait source. I place the point of the hook in and under the ballyhoo’s gill plate and run the hook down into the stomach. I force the hook point out the bottom of the fish so that the hook eye and leader are right at the mouth of the ‘Hoo and the hook is turned down under the belly of the bait.\r\n\r\nThis is where the leader tip comes in handy. I force the leader tip through the bot- tom and top jaw of the ballyhoo so that it protrudes just at the front of\r\nthe top lip. With a tie wrap from an old loaf of bread, I wrap the bill and leader tip to keep the mouth of the ballyhoo closed, and then I break off the bill right at the leader.\r\n\r\nSometimes I may use a pink or chartreuse skirt available at most tackle shops. The skirt offers color and protection of the nose area of the bait, but it really is not nec- essary. Commercial nose cone type products are also available, but in my experience not really necessary. That leader tip works just fine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Trolling</strong>\r\nDolphin usually prefer what I call a semi-hot bait. That is, not too slow and not too fast. I place a rod in a rod holder and let line back behind the boat. These are flat lines – ones that are not attached to an outrigger. I put one on each side of the boat back thirty to fifty yards. I run the trolling speed of the boat up until the bait is one the surface and “skipping” with the front of the bait just out of the water. Sometimes I will troll four rods, two way back fifty to sixty yards, one half way back and one bait right up close to the boat in the prop wash.\r\n\r\n<strong>Technique</strong>\r\nFinding and catching dolphin is easy if you follow some basics. • Look for a weed line or any other kind of flotsam in the water. Dolphin will be\r\nunder anything they can find to escape the sun. • Troll the edge of the weed line heading one direction and then crossing and heading back the other direction.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Vary the speed of your troll if you have not attracted a fish. Speed up or slow down – just break the pattern.</li>\r\n	<li>Watch for flying fish. If you spook some flying fish while trolling, chances are dolphin will be in the area. They follow the baitfish.</li>\r\n	<li>Look for birds – either a flock of birds diving or a solitary frigate bird. The flock of birds will usually be on a school of baitfish being chased by bonito or false albacore, but eh dolphin will be in the area as well. A solitary frigate bird will stay over a school of fish – sometimes solitary big fish – looking for an easy meal. It is wise to head their direction as well.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Simplicity</strong>\r\nEverything we talked about can be done with minimal expense and literally no special tackle. Big rods, outriggers, and the like are generally not necessary. Dolphin are very cooperative fish and a bait that skips without spinning and twisting will catch fish if you fish where the dolphin live.\";}i:4089;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"post_date\";s:5:\"value\";s:19:\"2011-04-01 20:53:18\";}i:4090;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:13:\"post_date_gmt\";s:5:\"value\";s:19:\"2011-04-01

limits, larger size-limits and general concerns as to the future of our fisheries, more and more anglers are releasing fish of all species. Whatever your reason for releasing your catch, you obviously want the released fish to survive. Here are some tried and true tactics to increase the odds of your fish’s post-release survival.\r\n\r\nOne of the keys to increasing the odds of your released fish’s survival lies in preparation. You can dramatically increase the odds of the fish’s survival by having some specialized tools on hand before the fish is hooked. The most important thing to keep in mind when preparing to release any fish is that the less contact you have with the fish the better the odds of its survival. The only exception to this general rule is for some species caught from deep water when their swim bladder has become distended due to the rapid decompression the fish experiences as it is being reeled to the surface. This phenomenon is called barotrauma and I will talk about it later.\r\n\r\nThe first factor you should consider if you are intending to release the fish you catch, comes even before you put a bait or lure into the water. What hooks should you be using and how should you modify them? If you are fishing bait, you should consider using circle hooks. Circle hooks are designed so that they normally hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, even if the fish initially swallows the bait. The hook is designed to slide along inside the fish’s mouth until the fish turns at an angle to the line. Then the hook will turn as the eye exits the fish’s mouth and the fish will be hooked in the mouth. Circle hooks that have the point offset from the shank of the hook are much more prone to hook the fish in the stomach, as opposed to those without the offset. Obviously a fish hooked in the mouth has a much greater chance of survival than one hooked in the stomach or other vital area. Fish are designed with a tough mouth to enable them to eat other fish, complete with spiny fins, as well as crabs and lobsters, which come complete with their own body armor, so a small hole in the mouth isn’t going to be life threatening.\r\n\r\nIf you elect to use the standard J shaped hook with either bait or a lure, you should consider reducing or removing the barb on the hook, to make it easier to unhook any fish that you catch. The barb is on the hook to help ensure that the hook stays in the fish. Unfortunately, it also makes the fish much more difficult to unhook even when it is out of the water. If you grind or file down the barbs on your hooks or simply crush them with a pair of pliers, you will make it much easier to unhook any fish that you catch and thus minimize the amount of handling of the fish, and maximize its chance of survival.\r\nYou should also consider substituting single hooks for treble hooks on any lures or jigs. Treble hooks will almost invariably hook the fish with more than one hook point, and make the job of unhooking the fish much more difficult. Single hooks without a barb will hook almost as many fish and will make the task of unhooking the fish much simpler.\r\n\r\nOnce you have your catch close to the boat or the beach, you have to accomplish the release, as quickly and with as little contact with the fish as possible. First you have to unhook it. The simplest way to accomplish that goal is simply grab the fish, and gently work the hook out of the fish’s mouth. This isn’t the ideal technique, but it does work. Be sure to avoid grabbing the fish by the gill plates or anywhere near the gills. The gills are very sensitive organs, and any damage to the gills will most likely doom your fish. A better technique would be to put on a wet cotton glove or use a wet cotton rag to grab the fish. Grabbing the fish with your hand, particularly a dry hand, will damage the fish’s slime coat, which protects it against infections much like your skin protects you. Using a wet cotton glove or wet soft rag will minimize the damage that you do to the slime coat and help insure that the fish is not infected by bacteria or fungi.\r\n\r\nAll of this works quite well with smaller fish, but what happens when you hook something much larger? The obvious difficulty with larger fish is controlling the fish while you work to remove the hook. It is generally not recommended that you use any type of gaff on a fish that you intend to release. We have all seen the pictures of Florida guides holding tarpon half way out of the water by a gaff expertly placed through the fish’s mouth. Unless you have the gaffing ability of one of those guides and are play- ing with fish that have mouths the size of buckets, keep the gaff away from the fish. A hole in the fish anywhere other than in the mouth is going to virtually guarantee that the fish will die. For the larger fish a net is a much better choice. The net will do some damage to the fish’s slime coat, but it will also do the job of controlling the fish while you remove the hook. For best results the fish and the net should not be removed from the water. Keeping the fish and the net in the water will minimize the damage to'),(4635,327,'excerpt',''),(4636,327,'trackback_url',''),(4637,327,'metakeyselect','#NONE#'),(4638,327,'metakeyinput',''),(4639,327,'metavalue',''),(4640,327,'_ajax_nonce-add-meta','179c52d04f'),(4641,327,'advanced_view','1'),(4642,327,'comment_status','open'),(4643,327,'ping_status','open'),(4644,327,'post_name','release-fish-the-right-way'),(4645,327,'post_author_override','1'),(4646,327,'post_format','0'),(4647,327,'pyre_featured_image','no'),(4648,327,'pyre_overall_score','0'),(4649,327,'pyre_critera_1',''),(4650,327,'pyre_critera_1_score','0'),(4651,327,'pyre_critera_2',''),(4652,327,'pyre_critera_2_score','0'),(4653,327,'pyre_critera_3',''),(4654,327,'pyre_critera_3_score','0'),(4655,327,'pyre_critera_4',''),(4656,327,'pyre_critera_4_score','0'),(4657,327,'pyre_critera_5',''),(4658,327,'pyre_critera_5_score','0'),(4659,327,'post_mime_type',''),(4660,327,'ID','327'),(4661,327,'post_content','<a href=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/catch.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/catch-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"catch and release\" title=\"catch and release\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-341\" /></a><strong><em>Written by Mike Plaia</em></strong>\r\n\r\nIn today’s world of smaller bag limits, larger size-limits and general concerns as to the future of our fisheries, more and more anglers are releasing fish of all species.

Single hooks without a barb will hook almost as many fish and will make the task of unhooking the fish much simpler.\r\n\r\nOnce you have your catch close to the boat or the beach, you have to accomplish the release, as quickly and with as little contact with the fish as possible. First you have to unhook it. The simplest way to accomplish that goal is simply grab the fish, and gently work the hook out of the fish’s mouth. This isn’t the ideal technique, but it does work. Be sure to avoid grabbing the fish by the gill plates or anywhere near the gills. The gills are very sensitive organs, and any damage to the gills will most likely doom your fish. A better technique would be to put on a wet cotton glove or use a wet cotton rag to grab the fish. Grabbing the fish with your hand, particularly a dry hand, will damage the fish’s slime coat, which protects it against infections much like your skin protects you. Using a wet cotton glove or wet soft rag will minimize the damage that you do to the slime coat and help insure that the fish is not infected by bacteria or fungi.\r\n\r\nAll of this works quite well with smaller fish, but what happens when you hook something much larger? The obvious difficulty with larger fish is controlling the fish while you work to remove the hook. It is generally not recommended that you use any type of gaff on a fish that you intend to release. We have all seen the pictures of Florida guides holding tarpon half way out of the water by a gaff expertly placed through the fish’s mouth. Unless you have the gaffing ability of one of those guides and are play- ing with fish that have mouths the size of buckets, keep the gaff away from the fish. A hole in the fish anywhere other than in the mouth is going to virtually guarantee that the fish will die. For the larger fish a net is a much better choice. The net will do some damage to the fish’s slime coat, but it will also do the job of controlling the fish while you remove the hook. For best results the fish and the net should not be removed from the water. Keeping the fish and the net in the water will minimize the damage to\";}i:4619;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:6:\"cur_aa\";s:5:\"value\";s:4:\"2011\";}i:4621;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:6:\"cur_hh\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"20\";}i:4617;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:6:\"cur_jj\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"08\";}i:4615;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:6:\"cur_mm\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"12\";}i:4623;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:6:\"cur_mn\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"32\";}i:4635;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:7:\"excerpt\";s:5:\"value\";s:0:\"\";}i:4596;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:14:\"gdsr_post_edit\";s:5:\"value\";s:4:\"edit\";}i:4600;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:23:\"gdsr_recc_vote_articles\";s:5:\"value\";s:1:\"H\";}i:4597;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:11:\"gdsr_review\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"-1\";}i:4598;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:19:\"gdsr_review_decimal\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"-1\";}i:4599;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:18:\"gdsr_vote_articles\";s:5:\"value\";s:1:\"H\";}i:4611;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:2:\"hh\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"20\";}i:4618;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"hidden_aa\";s:5:\"value\";s:4:\"2011\";}i:4620;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"hidden_hh\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"20\";}i:4616;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"hidden_jj\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"08\";}i:4614;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"hidden_mm\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"12\";}i:4622;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"hidden_mn\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"32\";}i:4604;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:20:\"hidden_post_password\";s:5:\"value\";s:0:\"\";}i:4602;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:18:\"hidden_post_status\";s:5:\"value\";s:5:\"draft\";}i:4605;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:22:\"hidden_post_visibility\";s:5:\"value\";s:6:\"public\";}i:4660;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:2:\"ID\";s:5:\"value\";s:3:\"327\";}i:4609;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:2:\"jj\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"08\";}i:4594;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:20:\"meta-box-order-nonce\";s:5:\"value\";s:10:\"ba97524812\";}i:4638;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:12:\"metakeyinput\";s:5:\"value\";s:0:\"\";}i:4637;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:13:\"metakeyselect\";s:5:\"value\";s:6:\"#NONE#\";}i:4639;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"metavalue\";s:5:\"value\";s:0:\"\";}i:4608;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:2:\"mm\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"12\";}i:4612;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:2:\"mn\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"32\";}i:4627;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:11:\"newcategory\";s:5:\"value\";s:17:\"New Category Name\";}i:4628;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:18:\"newcategory_parent\";s:5:\"value\";s:2:\"-1\";}i:4587;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:14:\"originalaction\";s:5:\"value\";s:8:\"editpost\";}i:4590;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:20:\"original_post_status\";s:5:\"value\";s:5:\"draft\";}i:4624;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:16:\"original_publish\";s:5:\"value\";s:7:\"Publish\";}i:4643;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:11:\"ping_status\";s:5:\"value\";s:4:\"open\";}i:4588;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:11:\"post_author\";s:5:\"value\";s:1:\"1\";}i:4645;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:20:\"post_author_override\";s:5:\"value\";s:1:\"1\";}i:4661;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:12:\"post_content\";s:5:\"value\";s:5517:\"<a href=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/catch.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/catch-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"catch and release\" title=\"catch and release\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-341\" /></a><strong><em>Written by Mike Plaia</em></strong>\r\n\r\nIn today’s world of smaller bag limits, larger size-limits and general concerns as to the future of our fisheries, more and more anglers are releasing fish of all species. Whatever your reason for releasing your catch, you obviously want the released fish to survive. Here are some tried and true tactics to increase the odds of your fish’s post-release survival.\r\n\r\nOne of the keys to increasing the odds of your released fish’s survival lies in preparation. You can dramatically increase the odds of the fish’s survival by having some specialized tools on hand before the fish is hooked. The most important thing to keep in mind when preparing to release any fish is that the less contact you have with the fish the better the odds of its survival. The only exception to this general rule is for some species caught from deep water when their swim bladder has become distended due to the rapid decompression the fish experiences as it is being reeled to the surface. This phenomenon is called barotrauma and I will talk about it later.\r\n\r\nThe first factor you should consider if you are intending to release the fish you catch, comes even before you put a bait or lure into the water. What hooks should you be using and how should you modify them? If you are fishing bait, you should consider using circle hooks. Circle hooks are designed so that they normally hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, even if the fish initially swallows the bait. The hook is designed to slide along inside the fish’s mouth until the fish turns at an angle to the line. Then the hook will turn as the eye exits the fish’s mouth and the fish will be hooked in the mouth. Circle hooks that have the point offset from the shank of the hook are much more prone to hook the fish in the stomach, as opposed to those without the offset. Obviously a fish hooked in the mouth has a much greater chance of survival than one hooked in the stomach or other vital area. Fish are designed with a tough mouth to enable them to eat other fish, complete with spiny fins, as well as crabs and lobsters, which come complete with their own body armor, so a small hole in the mouth isn’t going to be life threatening.\r\n\r\nIf you elect to use the standard J shaped hook with either bait or a lure, you should consider reducing or removing the barb on the hook, to make it easier to unhook any fish that you catch. The barb is on the hook to help ensure that the hook stays in the fish. Unfortunately, it also makes the fish much more difficult to unhook even when it is out of the water. If you grind or file down the barbs on your hooks or simply crush them with a pair of pliers, you will make it much easier to unhook any fish that you catch and thus minimize the amount of handling of the fish, and maximize its chance of survival.\r\nYou should also consider substituting single hooks for treble hooks on any lures or jigs. Treble hooks will almost invariably hook the fish with more than one hook point, and make the job of unhooking the fish much more difficult. Single hooks without a barb will hook almost as many fish and will make the task of unhooking the fish much simpler.\r\n\r\nOnce you have your catch close to the boat or the beach, you have to accomplish the release, as quickly and with as little contact with the fish as possible. First you have to unhook it. The simplest way to accomplish that goal is simply grab the fish, and gently work the hook out of the fish’s mouth. This isn’t the ideal technique, but it does work. Be sure to avoid grabbing the fish by the gill plates or anywhere near the gills. The gills are very sensitive organs, and any damage to the gills will most likely doom your fish. A better technique would be to put on a wet cotton glove or use a wet cotton rag to grab the fish. Grabbing the fish with your hand, particularly a dry hand, will damage the fish’s slime coat, which protects it against infections much like your skin protects you. Using a wet cotton glove or wet soft rag will minimize the damage that you do to the slime coat and help insure that the fish is not infected by bacteria or fungi.\r\n\r\nAll of this works quite well with smaller fish, but what happens when you hook something much larger? The obvious difficulty with larger fish is controlling the fish while you work to remove the hook. It is generally not recommended that you use any type of gaff on a fish that you intend to release. We have all seen the pictures of Florida guides holding tarpon half way out of the water by a gaff expertly placed through the fish’s mouth. Unless you have the gaffing ability of one of those guides and are play- ing with fish that have mouths the size of buckets, keep the gaff away from the fish. A hole in the fish anywhere other than in the mouth is going to virtually guarantee that the fish will die. For the larger fish a net is a much better choice. The net will do some damage to the fish’s slime coat, but it will also do the job of controlling the fish while you remove the hook. For best results the fish and the net should not be removed from the water.

Have you ever wanted to try it but were not sure where to start or what you might like? Or tried it and weren’t sure if you liked it? This guide will hopefully offer some information as to a good way to start enjoying sushi if you are a sushi beginner. Many people may say ‘why do I need a guide to try sushi?”This is not intended to be a treatise on the ‘only’ way to start eating sushi, but merely some recom- mendations for those who are unsure about eating raw fish and may be looking for some direction to ease them into something that they may learn to enjoy. This guide is presented as a list of suggestion to follow or think about when you decide the time is right to try sushi.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Try cooked items first. Until you are comfortable with raw seafood, you may want to try the cooked items available before the raw ones. Not all sushi is raw, which may come as a surprise to some, and you can make an entire meal from cooked food. Eel (unagi and anago) is always served cooked, and usually with a sweet and savory sauce. California rolls also have avocado, cucumber and cooked imitation crab meat (called kamaboko or surimi). You can get grilled squid (ika) or octopus (tako). Shrimp (ebi) is a good place to begin as unless you are ordering ‘sweet shrimp’ (ama ebi) it is always cooked. Clam is often cooked as well. Sushi restaurants also often make rolls out of items that are cooked tempura style (battered and fried). Some of these rolls (maki) are actually quite good. Some fish is ‘cooked’ in an acidic marinade, similar to ceviche, which is popular in many countries. With these items, such as mackerel (saba), the acidity of the marinade cooks the fish instead of heat, and adds a great deal of flavor to the fish as well. While a strongly flavored fish may not be to your liking, check the menu or ask to see what may be available.</li>\r\n	<li>Start with what you know. Sushi is not that different from eating any fish, it’s just not cooked. If you were to put it in the context of ‘seafood’ it should be easier on the neophyte palate. If you like a nice piece of grilled salmon, or particularly smoked or cured, then a piece of salmon sushi shouldn’t that much of a reach. The two main differences are taste and texture, and taste-wise raw salmon is not that different. It may not have the smokiness of smoked salmon or the sweetness of the cured variety, but this particular fish is not that different raw or cooked. Texture wise, it is just a little softer, which will not stand out that much against the rice. Do you like calamari? Try the squid (ika). Do you like scallops? Scallop sushi is almost unchanged from the ‘seared’ scallops served in a nice res- taurant, which is only seared on the outside and raw on the inside. Shrimp (ebi) is also widely served. While there are many fish you may not have encountered in a restaurant, there will also be plenty that you have, and will be familiar.</li>\r\n	<li>Try ‘vegetarian’ sushi. Just to get yourself in the ‘sushi mode’ you might want to try rolls without any meat in them. Kappa Maki (cucumber rolls) are a good place to start. By trying items like these you may become accustomed to the\r\nstyle of food and then decide if you would like to partake of something a bit more adventurous.</li>\r\n	<li>Start with the cut rolls (maki) instead of sushi or sashimi. One of the many ways of serving sushi, the cut roll or hand roll (temaki) is a good way to start off if the thought of eating raw fish might be off-putting. With the rolls, the items are inside and not staring you in the face, which may be a bit more appealing to some. Sashimi may be the last choice for some as being nothing more than a chunk of raw fish, it may not be the best thing to start with if you are hesitant. With a roll, and sushi, the rice will be a nice buffer, so to speak, for you to become more accustomed to the concept of eating fish raw.</li>\r\n	<li>Try the items with the least ‘fishy’ intensity. The milder items are a great place to start. Foods such as scallop (hotategai), red snapper (tai), squid (ika), and halibut (ohyo) are particularly mild, and are great for beginners. Tuna (maguro) may look strong due to it’s rich, dark colour, but it is also a very mild fish, and a very common item in sushi restaurants. Putting a hunk of mackerel (saba) in your mouth when you are not expecting something overly fishy can be a deal-breaker for some. The milder fish can still have a great flavor without being ‘fishy.’ The general rule is the less oily, the less fishy, so keep that in mind.</li>\r\n	<li>Let the itamae (chef ) help you. There is a dining choice called ‘omakase’ which essentially means‘chef’s choice.’This means that the itamae will choose what he thinks is particularly good that day and serve you items until you are finished. This is probably not a good choice if you are not sure what you like or definitely want to avoid certain items. Don’t let your friends talk you into this one unless you know what you are getting into, which I explain in my blog entry, omakase sushi.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nEveryone has different tastes and there is definitely no single way to approach su- shi if you are new to it. Always stay at your comfort level and don’t be afraid to not eat something that doesn’t appeal to you. Find your own pace and you never know, sushi may grow on you. As a youth I was told to try something three times before declaring that I didn’t like it. It has worked for me every time and I can’t think of a food that I cannot appreciate.

Have you ever wanted to try it but were not sure where to start or what you might like? Or tried it and weren’t sure if you liked it? This guide will hopefully offer some information as to a good way to start enjoying sushi if you are a sushi beginner. Many people may say ‘why do I need a guide to try sushi?”This is not intended to be a treatise on the ‘only’ way to start eating sushi, but merely some recom- mendations for those who are unsure about eating raw fish and may be looking for some direction to ease them into something that they may learn to enjoy. This guide is presented as a list of suggestion to follow or think about when you decide the time is right to try sushi.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Try cooked items first. Until you are comfortable with raw seafood, you may want to try the cooked items available before the raw ones. Not all sushi is raw, which may come as a surprise to some, and you can make an entire meal from cooked food. Eel (unagi and anago) is always served cooked, and usually with a sweet and savory sauce. California rolls also have avocado, cucumber and cooked imitation crab meat (called kamaboko or surimi). You can get grilled squid (ika) or octopus (tako). Shrimp (ebi) is a good place to begin as unless you are ordering ‘sweet shrimp’ (ama ebi) it is always cooked. Clam is often cooked as well. Sushi restaurants also often make rolls out of items that are cooked tempura style (battered and fried). Some of these rolls (maki) are actually quite good. Some fish is ‘cooked’ in an acidic marinade, similar to ceviche, which is popular in many countries. With these items, such as mackerel (saba), the acidity of the marinade cooks the fish instead of heat, and adds a great deal of flavor to the fish as well. While a strongly flavored fish may not be to your liking, check the menu or ask to see what may be available.</li>\r\n	<li>Start with what you know. Sushi is not that different from eating any fish, it’s just not cooked. If you were to put it in the context of ‘seafood’ it should be easier on the neophyte palate. If you like a nice piece of grilled salmon, or particularly smoked or cured, then a piece of salmon sushi shouldn’t that much of a reach. The two main differences are taste and texture, and taste-wise raw salmon is not that different. It may not have the smokiness of smoked salmon or the sweetness of the cured variety, but this particular fish is not that different raw or cooked. Texture wise, it is just a little softer, which will not stand out that much against the rice. Do you like calamari? Try the squid (ika). Do you like scallops? Scallop sushi is almost unchanged from the ‘seared’ scallops served in a nice res- taurant, which is only seared on the outside and raw on the inside. Shrimp (ebi) is also widely served. While there are many fish you may not have encountered in a restaurant, there will also be plenty that you have, and will be familiar.</li>\r\n	<li>Try ‘vegetarian’ sushi. Just to get yourself in the ‘sushi mode’ you might want to try rolls without any meat in them. Kappa Maki (cucumber rolls) are a good place to start. By trying items like these you may become accustomed to the\r\nstyle of food and then decide if you would like to partake of something a bit more adventurous.</li>\r\n	<li>Start with the cut rolls (maki) instead of sushi or sashimi. One of the many ways of serving sushi, the cut roll or hand roll (temaki) is a good way to start off if the thought of eating raw fish might be off-putting. With the rolls, the items are inside and not staring you in the face, which may be a bit more appealing to some. Sashimi may be the last choice for some as being nothing more than a chunk of raw fish, it may not be the best thing to start with if you are hesitant. With a roll, and sushi, the rice will be a nice buffer, so to speak, for you to become more accustomed to the concept of eating fish raw.</li>\r\n	<li>Try the items with the least ‘fishy’ intensity. The milder items are a great place to start. Foods such as scallop (hotategai), red snapper (tai), squid (ika), and halibut (ohyo) are particularly mild, and are great for beginners. Tuna (maguro) may look strong due to it’s rich, dark colour, but it is also a very mild fish, and a very common item in sushi restaurants. Putting a hunk of mackerel (saba) in your mouth when you are not expecting something overly fishy can be a deal-breaker for some. The milder fish can still have a great flavor without being ‘fishy.’ The general rule is the less oily, the less fishy, so keep that in mind.</li>\r\n	<li>Let the itamae (chef ) help you. There is a dining choice called ‘omakase’ which essentially means‘chef’s choice.’This means that the itamae will choose what he thinks is particularly good that day and serve you items until you are finished. This is probably not a good choice if you are not sure what you like or definitely want to avoid certain items.

process of being too transparent.

It is a process that often yields confounding results.\r\n\r\nSome of the most perplexing results ever seen in this arena are on the horizon, as the 2006 re-authorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires NOAA Fisheries to set annual catch limits on every stock of fish under management by Dec. 31, 2011. The agency is a long, long way from having science on all those stocks, meaning that it is preparing to set a slew of catch limits based on what amounts to a SWAG – a scientific wild ass guess.\r\n\r\nThe House of Representatives Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans, and Insular Affairs acknowledged that the situation is ludicrous. It held an oversight hearing this week entitled, “NOAA’s Fishery Science: Is the Lack of Basic Science Costing Jobs?” which is a very telling label for a hearing. Loosely translated, it means that legislators realize that managing public resources by SWAG has real-world ramifications and, to their credit, they attempted to find what most of us involved in fisheries management are seeking: Clarity. A straight answer. Common sense.\r\n\r\nThe Committee asked a diverse group of individuals to share their views and assess the impact of NOAA Fisheries’ distinct lack of science on the vast majority of stocks it manages. It was a unique opportunity. Congress was listening. It was a chance for parties to set the record straight and work toward a solution, and that doesn’t come along very often. But just when you thought the water was clearing, the tide kicked up more mud.\r\n\r\nDuring the hearing, an outgoing member of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, George Geiger, referred to himself as a leader of Coastal Conservation Association as he attacked HR 2304, the Fishery Science Improvement Act, in his testimony. HR 2304 is a bill sponsored by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.) that, among other provisions, states that if the agency has not assessed a stock of fish in the last five years and there is no indication that overfishing is occurring, the agency is not required to set an annual catch limit.\r\n\r\nCCA and the other leading marine conservation organizations in the country have thrown their support behind Rep. Wittman’s bill as a common-sense remedy to NOAA Fisheries ongoing science shortcomings. The bill is opposed, however, by most of the environmental community, which insists that a hodgepodge of partial bits of information that perhaps add up to an informed guess is somehow good enough to manage our marine resources. No other wildlife resource management agency operates that way, but damn the consequences and full speed ahead for marine resources, these groups say.\r\n\r\nMr. Geiger seems to believe that too, but strangely decided to cloud his affiliations and repeatedly referenced his leadership role in CCA Florida, giving Congress the impression that he was speaking for CCA despite his letter of resignation from CCA almost two years ago.\r\n\r\nIt wasn’t a passing reference – he mentioned it more than a few times in his written testimony and in his oral testimony. But he never mentioned his abrupt departure from CCA. To what purpose? To create clarity? No, if that was the case he would have articulated the philosophical differences that caused him to leave the organization in October of 2009.\r\n\r\nNo one in CCA asked Mr. Geiger to testify on our behalf. Jeff Angers, president of the Center for Coastal Conservation, carried the message for CCA as well as for American Sportfishing Association, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, International Game Fish Association, National Marine Manufacturers Association and The Billfish Foundation.\r\n\r\nIt remains unclear who Mr. Geiger was representing. We know it wasn’t CCA – Jeff Angers was doing that. Was it Pew? His testimony certainly aligns with their opinion on the bill. Has Pew’s credibility dropped so low that it has to rely on someone who is apparently not connected with them, in this case an ex-member of CCA, in order to have its testimony presented? Why can’t Pew represent itself at a hearing?\r\n\r\nIt appears that while anglers are calling for clarity, some other groups are content to play a shell game. Whatever game was being played, it was hard to listen to Mr. Geiger or read his testimony without concluding that he was suggesting that he represented CCA. That kind of obfuscation is similar to the questionable tactics employed by environmental groups that have also attacked HR 2304 in dramatic fashion.\r\n\r\nThe Ocean Conservancy essentially labeled supporters of the bill – which has more than two dozen bipartisan co-sponsors and the support of the 300-member-strong Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus – as pro-extinction. The Natural Resources Defense Council breathlessly said HR 2304 would “gut the nation’s fisheries law.”\r\n\r\nA bill that requires a stock assessment to set an annual catch limit for a stock of fish stands to gut the nation’s fisheries law? Gut?!\r\nRhetoric like that muddies every discussion on federal fisheries management.\r\n\r\nThe Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans, and Insular Affairs is to be commended for its efforts to seek solutions for NOAA Fisheries’ inability to implement the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act the way Congress envisioned in 2006. Unfortunately, at a time when everyone – Congress, anglers, commercial fishermen, the Councils, NOAA – sees the need to address those problems, there are still some who find it better to muddy the water than seek the truth.\r\n\r\n<h2>Menhaden Management moves up the food chain</h2>\r\n\r\nALEXANDRIA, VA – Tangible management of menhaden in the Atlantic moved another step closer to reality this week when the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) voted to send a series of management options for this critical forage species out to public hearings.\r\n\r\nMenhaden management has long been a sore point among conservationists as intense commercial harvest of the species in the Chesapeake Bay has added to factors believed to be negatively impacting striped bass and other gamefish all along the East Coast. The primary industrial harvester of Atlantic menhaden, Omega Protein, has never had its harvest effectively restricted and stands as one of the very few commercial fishing operations in the country to successfully avoid management measures that might impact its bottom line.\r\n\r\nThere is also a completely unregulated bait fishery that targets menhaden throughout its East Coast range. Comprised of boats of all sizes, from large mid-water trawlers to small skiffs, it supplies bait to both the commercial and recreational fishery. The quantity of menhaden harvested by that industry has never been comprehensively assessed, but it is undoubtedly significant. In addition, the fishery is believed to be expanding as northeastern lobstermen seek a substitute for the more strictly regulated, Atlantic herring, which is decreasing in abundance.\r\n\r\nThe most current menhaden stock assessment showed the stock was undergoing overfishing and abundance estimates were at the lowest level ever recorded. Current science indicates that the menhaden spawning stock biomass is at about 9 percent of a stock that is not subjected to any fishing pressure. With the vote this week, the ASMFC has put into play management options that could increase the spawning stock biomass to15 percent or more.\r\n\r\n“This is the grinding process of management,” said Richen Brame, CCA Atlantic States Fisheries Director. “The science is finally catching up with the problems anglers and conservationists have been talking about for a long time, and now the process can move forward. The fact that these options are going out for public hearing is significant, but it is a slow grind to get where we want to be with this stock. You can bet the harvesters think this is a significant development.”\r\n\r\nWhatever regulations are ultimately adopted will be interim measures that will likely be in place for three to five years until ecological reference points, generated from a Multi- Species Virtual Population Analysis can be produced, which will require stock assessment updates on bluefish, striped bass, weakfish and menhaden stock. When that analysis is conducted, it is very possible managers will have a much better idea of the population of menhaden needed to fully serve as the critical forage base for those popular sport fish.\r\n\r\n“Almost everyone who has spent time fishing in the Chesapeake has seen how the industrial boats, aided by spotter planes, can wipe out whole schools of menhaden, removing them completely from the food chain,” said Frank Kearney, chairman of CCA Virginia’s Government Affairs Committee. “For a long time, anglers have felt powerless to impact the menhaden management process against a very well-connected and financially powerful company. Now that these measures are going out for public hearing, it feels like we have a chance to inject some sanity into this fishery and begin to manage it for the greater good, not just for the good of one company.”'),(4833,351,'excerpt',''),(4834,351,'trackback_url',''),(4835,351,'metakeyselect','#NONE#'),(4836,351,'metakeyinput',''),(4837,351,'metavalue',''),(4838,351,'_ajax_nonce-add-meta','179c52d04f'),(4839,351,'advanced_view','1'),(4840,351,'comment_status','open'),(4841,351,'ping_status','open'),(4842,351,'post_name','distortions'),(4843,351,'post_author_override','1'),(4844,351,'post_format','0'),(4845,351,'pyre_featured_image','yes'),(4846,351,'pyre_overall_score','0'),(4847,351,'pyre_critera_1',''),(4848,351,'pyre_critera_1_score','0'),(4849,351,'pyre_critera_2',''),(4850,351,'pyre_critera_2_score','0'),(4851,351,'pyre_critera_3',''),(4852,351,'pyre_critera_3_score','0'),(4853,351,'pyre_critera_4',''),(4854,351,'pyre_critera_4_score','0'),(4855,351,'pyre_critera_5',''),(4856,351,'pyre_critera_5_score','0'),(4857,351,'post_mime_type',''),(4858,351,'ID','351'),(4859,351,'post_content','<strong><em>By Ted Venke</em></strong>\r\n\r\nNo one has ever accused the federal fisheries management process of being too transparent.

When that analysis is conducted, it is very possible managers will have a much better idea of the population of menhaden needed to fully serve as the critical forage base for those popular sport fish.\r\n\r\n“Almost everyone who has spent time fishing in the Chesapeake has seen how the industrial boats, aided by spotter planes, can wipe out whole schools of menhaden, removing them completely from the food chain,” said Frank Kearney, chairman of CCA Virginia’s Government Affairs Committee. “For a long time, anglers have felt powerless to impact the menhaden management process against a very well-connected and financially powerful company. Now that these measures are going out for public hearing, it feels like we have a chance to inject some sanity into this fishery and begin to manage it for the greater good, not just for the good of one company.”'),(4860,351,'post_excerpt',''),(4861,351,'to_ping',''),(4862,351,'edit_date','1'),(4863,351,'post_date','2011-09-01 20:57:36'),(4864,351,'post_date_gmt','2011-09-01 20:57:36'),(4867,351,'save','Update'),(4868,351,'meta','a:79:{i:4808;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:2:\"aa\";s:5:\"value\";s:4:\"2011\";}i:4782;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:6:\"action\";s:5:\"value\";s:8:\"editpost\";}i:4839;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:13:\"advanced_view\";s:5:\"value\";s:1:\"1\";}i:4791;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:13:\"autosavenonce\";s:5:\"value\";s:10:\"4643372aa2\";}i:4789;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:10:\"auto_draft\";s:5:\"value\";s:1:\"0\";}i:4793;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:20:\"closedpostboxesnonce\";s:5:\"value\";s:10:\"5ad896de1e\";}i:4840;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:14:\"comment_status\";s:5:\"value\";s:4:\"open\";}i:4832;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:7:\"content\";s:5:\"value\";s:5766:\"<h2>Muddying the Water</h2>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>By Ted Venke</em></strong>\r\n\r\nNo one has ever accused the federal fisheries management process of being too transparent. It is a Byzantine world of statistics, biology and, the murkiest ingredient of all, politics. It is a process that often yields confounding results.\r\n\r\nSome of the most perplexing results ever seen in this arena are on the horizon, as the 2006 re-authorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires NOAA Fisheries to set annual catch limits on every stock of fish under management by Dec. 31, 2011. The agency is a long, long way from having science on all those stocks, meaning that it is preparing to set a slew of catch limits based on what amounts to a SWAG – a scientific wild ass guess.\r\n\r\nThe House of Representatives Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans, and Insular Affairs acknowledged that the situation is ludicrous. It held an oversight hearing this week entitled, “NOAA’s Fishery Science: Is the Lack of Basic Science Costing Jobs?” which is a very telling label for a hearing. Loosely translated, it means that legislators realize that managing public resources by SWAG has real-world ramifications and, to their credit, they attempted to find what most of us involved in fisheries management are seeking: Clarity. A straight answer. Common sense.\r\n\r\nThe Committee asked a diverse group of individuals to share their views and assess the impact of NOAA Fisheries’ distinct lack of science on the vast majority of stocks it manages. It was a unique opportunity. Congress was listening. It was a chance for parties to set the record straight and work toward a solution, and that doesn’t come along very often. But just when you thought the water was clearing, the tide kicked up more mud.\r\n\r\nDuring the hearing, an outgoing member of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, George Geiger, referred to himself as a leader of Coastal Conservation Association as he attacked HR 2304, the Fishery Science Improvement Act, in his testimony. HR 2304 is a bill sponsored by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.) that, among other provisions, states that if the agency has not assessed a stock of fish in the last five years and there is no indication that overfishing is occurring, the agency is not required to set an annual catch limit.\r\n\r\nCCA and the other leading marine conservation organizations in the country have thrown their support behind Rep. Wittman’s bill as a common-sense remedy to NOAA Fisheries ongoing science shortcomings. The bill is opposed, however, by most of the environmental community, which insists that a hodgepodge of partial bits of information that perhaps add up to an informed guess is somehow good enough to manage our marine resources. No other wildlife resource management agency operates that way, but damn the consequences and full speed ahead for marine resources, these groups say.\r\n\r\nMr. Geiger seems to believe that too, but strangely decided to cloud his affiliations and repeatedly referenced his leadership role in CCA Florida, giving Congress the impression that he was speaking for CCA despite his letter of resignation from CCA almost two years ago.\r\n\r\nIt wasn’t a passing reference – he mentioned it more than a few times in his written testimony and in his oral testimony. But he never mentioned his abrupt departure from CCA. To what purpose? To create clarity? No, if that was the case he would have articulated the philosophical differences that caused him to leave the organization in October of 2009.\r\n\r\nNo one in CCA asked Mr. Geiger to testify on our behalf. Jeff Angers, president of the Center for Coastal Conservation, carried the message for CCA as well as for American Sportfishing Association, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, International Game Fish Association, National Marine Manufacturers Association and The Billfish Foundation.\r\n\r\nIt remains unclear who Mr. Geiger was representing. We know it wasn’t CCA – Jeff Angers was doing that. Was it Pew? His testimony certainly aligns with their opinion on the bill. Has Pew’s credibility dropped so low that it has to rely on someone who is apparently not connected with them, in this case an ex-member of CCA, in order to have its testimony presented? Why can’t Pew represent itself at a hearing?\r\n\r\nIt appears that while anglers are calling for clarity, some other groups are content to play a shell game. Whatever game was being played, it was hard to listen to Mr. Geiger or read his testimony without concluding that he was suggesting that he represented CCA. That kind of obfuscation is similar to the questionable tactics employed by environmental groups that have also attacked HR 2304 in dramatic fashion.\r\n\r\nThe Ocean Conservancy essentially labeled supporters of the bill – which has more than two dozen bipartisan co-sponsors and the support of the 300-member-strong Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus – as pro-extinction. The Natural Resources Defense Council breathlessly said HR 2304 would “gut the nation’s fisheries law.”\r\n\r\nA bill that requires a stock assessment to set an annual catch limit for a stock of fish stands to gut the nation’s fisheries law? Gut?!\r\nRhetoric like that muddies every discussion on federal fisheries management.\r\n\r\nThe Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans, and Insular Affairs is to be commended for its efforts to seek solutions for NOAA Fisheries’ inability to implement the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act the way Congress envisioned in 2006.

use.</h2>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"http://www.coastalmariner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/grilledSeafood-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"grilled Seafood\" title=\"grilled Seafood\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-371\" />Successful seafood grilling depends on the fish’s texture. You want fish that has a thick, firm, meaty texture so that it won’t fall apart while it’s cooking. Although some of the firm–textured fish is higher in fat than more delicate types of fish, the fat in fish is a kind of heart–healthy fat.\r\n\r\n<h3>Seafood That Can Take the Heat</h3>\r\n<strong>Grouper</strong>: This white–meat fish is sold in fillets and steaks. If you can’t find grouper, you can use sea bass or mahi mahi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Halibut: </strong>The meat of this fish is white and mild–flavored and comes in steaks and fillets. It’s a bit more delicate than some of this other fish in this list, so be careful when you’re turning it on the grill.\r\n\r\n<strong>Salmon:</strong> With a range of flavors from rich to mild, salmon can take on a char and still keep its distinct taste. You can buy salmon in either steaks or fillets.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scallops:</strong> There are two groups of scallops–bay and sea. The larger sea scallops are best for grilling because they have a meatier texture and can be easily skewered.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shrimp: </strong>Large or jumbo shrimp are the best for grilling. They cook quickly and are easily skewered.\r\n\r\n<strong>Swordfish:</strong> The mild fish has a firm, gray-white flesh and a meaty texture and is usually sold as steaks. Its natural oil content keeps it moist while grilling.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuna:</strong> If you’re new to grilling fish, fresh tuna is a good place to start. It cooks more like beef and its deep red meat almost never sticks to the grill.\r\n<h3>Checking for Doneness</h3>\r\nTo avoid overcooking fish, it’s generally best to go with a medium–hot fire rather than a really hot one. You should start checking the fish several minutes before you think it’s done. There are two ways to test doneness:\r\n(1) pull a little of the flesh out with a fork and see if it flakes, or\r\n(2) make a small slit in the thickest part of the fish with a sharp knife. Cooked fish will be firm to the touch and opaque; undercooked fish will appear shiny and semi-translucent.\r\n\r\n<h3>Tips for Grilling Fish</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Make sure the grill rack is very clean. Any residue on the rack could interfere with the fish’s delicate flavor, plus, a clean rack helps prevent sticking.</li>\r\n	<li>Lightly coat the grill rack with cooking spray or brush it with oil before placing it over the heat source. This keeps the food from sticking and makes the grill rack easier to clean.</li>\r\n	<li>Place the seafood on a hot grill rack and leave it there for several minutes before you try to move it. This way, a sear will develop between the fish and the grill rack, and this prevents further sticking.</li>\r\n	<li>Watch the time. Seafood cooks quickly and you don’t want to overcook. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish as well as its texture, but most fish cooks in about 10 minutes or less.</li>\r\n	<li>If you have a grill basket, use it for grilling more delicate types of fish such as catfish. With a basket, you turn the whole basket over instead of turning individual pieces of fish, so you don’t have to worry about tearing the fish or about small pieces falling through the grill rack.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>The Right Fire for the Fish</h3>\r\nTo get the best results when you’re grilling seafood, be sure to use the right level of heat for the food.

You want fish that has a thick, firm, meaty texture so that it won’t fall apart while it’s cooking. Although some of the firm–textured fish is higher in fat than more delicate types of fish, the fat in fish is a kind of heart–healthy fat.\r\n<h3>Seafood That Can Take the Heat</h3>\r\n<strong>Grouper</strong>: This white–meat fish is sold in fillets and steaks. If you can’t find grouper, you can use sea bass or mahi mahi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Halibut: </strong>The meat of this fish is white and mild–flavored and comes in steaks and fillets. It’s a bit more delicate than some of this other fish in this list, so be careful when you’re turning it on the grill.\r\n\r\n<strong>Salmon:</strong> With a range of flavors from rich to mild, salmon can take on a char and still keep its distinct taste. You can buy salmon in either steaks or fillets.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scallops:</strong> There are two groups of scallops–bay and sea. The larger sea scallops are best for grilling because they have a meatier texture and can be easily skewered.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shrimp: </strong>Large or jumbo shrimp are the best for grilling. They cook quickly and are easily skewered.\r\n\r\n<strong>Swordfish:</strong> The mild fish has a firm, gray-white flesh and a meaty texture and is usually sold as steaks. Its natural oil content keeps it moist while grilling.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuna:</strong> If you’re new to grilling fish, fresh tuna is a good place to start. It cooks more like beef and its deep red meat almost never sticks to the grill.\r\n<h3>Checking for Doneness</h3>\r\nTo avoid overcooking fish, it’s generally best to go with a medium–hot fire rather than a really hot one. You should start checking the fish several minutes before you think it’s done. There are two ways to test doneness:\r\n(1) pull a little of the flesh out with a fork and see if it flakes, or\r\n(2) make a small slit in the thickest part of the fish with a sharp knife. Cooked fish will be firm to the touch and opaque; undercooked fish will appear shiny and semi-translucent.\r\n\r\n<h3>Tips for Grilling Fish</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Make sure the grill rack is very clean. Any residue on the rack could interfere with the fish’s delicate flavor, plus, a clean rack helps prevent sticking.</li>\r\n	<li>Lightly coat the grill rack with cooking spray or brush it with oil before placing it over the heat source. This keeps the food from sticking and makes the grill rack easier to clean.</li>\r\n	<li>Place the seafood on a hot grill rack and leave it there for several minutes before you try to move it. This way, a sear will develop between the fish and the grill rack, and this prevents further sticking.</li>\r\n	<li>Watch the time. Seafood cooks quickly and you don’t want to overcook. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish as well as its texture, but most fish cooks in about 10 minutes or less.</li>\r\n	<li>If you have a grill basket, use it for grilling more delicate types of fish such as catfish.

Until recent years, the Outer Banks of North Carolina were considered some of the most isolated and under-developed areas in the country. The banks consist of a string of sand dunes that serve to protect the mainland of North Carolina from the Atlantic Ocean. They are separated from the mainland by large bodies of water called “sounds.” The Outer Banks are approximately 175 miles long from the Virginia line to below Cape Lookout. Perhaps the islands are best described by the name of one of the Indian tribes that lived there....”Hatterasil”, an Algonquin word meaning “there is less vegetation”.\r\n\r\nThe following history was derived from historic journals of sailing vessels researched from archives in England and Spain, regarding exploration and colonization in the 16th century. The author, the late Dale Burrus,was a lifelong resident of Hatteras Island, North Carolina, and was Senior Inspector for the Spanish Mustang Registry at the time he wrote this history.\r\n<h3>Lucas Vasquez de Allyon’s Expeditions</h3>\r\nAmong the first explorers to visit the North Carolina coast was a Spaniard named Lucas Vasquez de Allyon, who had received a charter from the Spanish king which gave him the right to explore and colonize much of the eastern seaboard. In 1521, Allyon sent one of his captains, Gordilk, in charge of an expedition which landed at River John the Baptist (thought to have been Cape Fear). Other Allyon explorers spent considerable time at a place called “Chicom,” thought to be in the same vicinity.\r\n\r\nThe Spaniards had trouble with the Indians. It seems they were taking Indian children as slaves and sending them to the West Indies. There was a great Indian uprising led by Corees, and the Spaniards were forced to flee to stronger Spanish holdings in Florida, leaving behind all their livestock.\r\n<h3>Richard Greenville’s Expeditions</h3>\r\nThe next direct line of history comes from vessel logs detailing the importation of livestock to the Outer Banks by Richard Greenville’s expeditions from 1584 to 1590. For four years, Raleigh’s ships maintained a steady traffic between England and the Outer Banks, in spring of 1584, 1585, 1586, and 1587. They followed the same general route to the Canary Islands and across the Atlantic, stopping at the same places in the West Indies such as Tallaboa Bay and Puerto Rico. They reached the Outer Banks in early summer. A Spaniard concerned over these activities, could have set his calendar by the comings and goings of these vessels carrying colonists and supplies to the land the English called Virginia, in honor of their virgin queen.\r\n\r\nAlthough Spain and England were at a state of war during this period, trade was still carried on between the Spanish colonists of the West Indies and the ships of Greenville. The Spanish authorities in Puerto Rico were not passive while this was going on. The Governor, Diego Menendez de Valdez, claimed that he received news at San Juan de Puerto Rico of Commander Jones’ (commanding the Tyger) approach to the southern shore on May 10. He ordered his lieutenant at San Jerman who had 40 men, to keep watch on the English who had, he assumed, only landed to water. On May 16, a patrol of eight Spanish horsemen made their appearance at an encampment, but soon disappeared when challenged by ten of Jone’s arquebusman.\r\n\r\nOn May 22 a further party of twenty horsemen appeared, led by the commander if the local garrison. This time Greenville sent out two horsemen of his own and some footmen to arrange a parley. Two men from each side exchanged formal courtesies, the English declaring they were anxious to trade and to purchase food. A rendezvous for an exchange was arranged two days ahead. The lieutenant was now in a position to send a full report to the governor, which reached him on May 25. He at once sent off 35 arquebusmen to assist the lieutenant in harassing the English if they emerged from the encampment.\r\n\r\nThese reinforcements were only a one-day march from San Juan, when they were met by news that the English had “quitted their fort.” Greenville, after launching his pinnance on May 23, had gone to the rendezvous the next day, but the Spaniards did not appear. He returned to the camp, where he found the huts were burned and the embankments thrown down.\r\n\r\nIn a prominent place he erected a post and carved it with an inscription announcing the safe arrival and departure of the Tyger and Elizabeth as a guide to the missing vessels of the squadron, should they arrive later. The Spanish, however, uprooted the post soon after and with some difficulty had its inscription translated and forwarded to Spain.\r\n\r\nThe reason for Greenville’s desertion of the encampment was the likelihood of a Spanish attack, but he did not at once leave the coast. He lay in wait for “prizes” in the Mona Channel and he took a small frigate, but she proved to be empty. A more valuable prize was made the same night, belonging to Lorenzo de Vallejo, which had come from Spain with the flotilla carrying cloth and other merchandise. She had put into Santa Domingo and was making her way with cargo and passengers to San Juan when she was taken without struggle. Greenville put “prize crews” on board and retired to a nearby anchorage, having apparently sent word ashore to San Jerman that he again wished to trade.\r\n\r\nOne of the commanders, Commander Lane, was persuaded to take the smaller prize with some Spanish prisoners, and to bring salt from what was apparently Salinas Bay, near Cape Rojo. Finding two salt mounds ready, he enclosed them with entrenchments and began removing them, but a Spanish force came up. Lane believed this force to be commanded by the governor himself, and the force consisted of 40 horses and 300 footmen. They did not attempt to try Lane’s defenses. Lane, on rejoining the Tyger, protested violently at having been placed in jeopardy with a handful of men, and began a series of quarrels with Greenville, which destroyed the harmony of the expedition.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the Tyger, the Elizabeth, the pinnance and the larger prize had been trading with the Spaniards in the vicinity of Guanica or Guayanilla. Neither the English nor the Spanish documents are quite clear how this was arranged, but it appears that Greenville offered one of the frigates for sale, attempted to ransom his prisoners (“getting good round summes, but nothing at allone of the released Spaniards claimed”, he said). The ships logs show that Greenville acquired livestock, hogs sows, young cattle, mares and male horses, foodstuffs, plants of sugar cane, bananas and other fruits to supply the colony which it was intending to grow there. The governor, hearing of such exchanges, sent orders that they were to cease, but again Greenville had moved before his instructions had taken effect. The squadron (now of five vessels) sailed on May 29 for the north coast of Hispaniola.\r\n\r\nAccording to Spanish documentation, the Spaniards put in at Puerto-de-Plata and then moved on to the Bahia Isabela, the harbor immediately to the west. After two days at Isabela, Governor Alcade and Captain Regifo de Angulo made friendly overtures to Greenville, promising to come to visit him. The English ships were in an area which had a long record of illicit trade that took place with the French. On June 5, Greenville and his company were invited onshore, where an elaborate entertainment was prepared for them. Feasting was followed by a bullfight and sports by commerce. On June 6, male horses and mares (with saddles and bridles), cows and bulls, sheep and swine were purchased for the colony, together with hides, sugar, ginger, tobacco and pearls (most of which were evidently for the English market). The English had already been observed on Puerto Rico collecting banana plants and other fruit trees along the shore and they continued to do so in Hispaniola. John White, a commander, recorded a number of plants and animals on paper.\r\n\r\nWhatever Greenville’s views on the missing vessels were (and we do not know precisely how stores and men had been distributed between them) it is clear that he did not regard their absence as sufficient enough to make him abandon the projected colony. His men were well, and his supplies of livestock, plants and food improved the prospects of settlement, though the delays had sacrificed valuable planting time. He sailed from Hispaniola on June 7 northwest, being nearly lost when he visited a small island the next day to take seals. The following day, they failed to find salt on one of the Caicos Islands and entered the Bahamas, landing at Eleuthera, Guanima on June 12, and Ciguateo (Great Abaco) on June 15. Then, sailing through Providence North West Channel, he sighted the American mainland on June 20, between 27 degrees and 30 degrees north.\r\n\r\nOn June 23 they encountered the shoals of a headland which they believed to be, and most probably was Cape Fear. Rounding the shoals with difficulty, they anchored the next day in a harbor which is likely to have been that of Beaufort, North Carolina. They were now clearly probing the coast closely. On June 26, they came to an inlet through the Carolina Banks, called Wococon, which is about in the middle of the present Portsmouth Island.\r\n\r\nCommander Lane said, in his journal book, that all their ships went aground on the shallow bar, but were floated off without too much difficulty. However, the Tyger had been lying offshore, and when an attempt was made on June 29 to bring her into harbor, serious disaster occurred. She struck, according to the Tyger journal. Two hours of struggle went on to prevent her from breaking up. Finally she was beached. The damage was a severe blow to the intended colony, since all the corn, salt, meal, rice, biscuits, and other provisions were destroyed or damaged by the salt water. Livestock was either lost, or swam ashore. This was a first and salutary example of the dangers which threatened shipping along this most risky stretch of coast.\r\nFor many years, it has been very difficult to put together the needed information concerning the early exploration and colonization attempts by Sir Walter Raleigh’s ships, especially the parts dealing with his exploits and trading in the West Indies, but in 1955 the Halkuyt Society published a two volume set which included all of the old material, plus considerable new information, most of it located in archives in England and Spain.\r\n<h3>John Lawson’s Observations (early 1700’s)</h3>\r\nA quote from an English historian, John Lawson (who explored and documented southeastern North Carolina from 1700 until his death at the hands of the Tuscaroras in 1711) says, “The horses are well-shaped and swift. The best of them would sell for ten or twelve pounds in England. They prove excellent drudges, and will travel incredible journeys. They are troubled with very few distempers, neither do the cloudy-faced grey horses go blind here as in Europe. As for sprains, splints and ringbones, they are here never met withal, as I can learn. Were we to have our stallions and choice of mares from England, or any other of a good sort, and careful to keep them on the highlands, we could not fail of a good breed; but having been supplied with our first horses from the neighboring plantations, which were but mean, they do not as yet come up to the Excellency of the English horses; tho we generally find that the colts exceed in beauty and strength....”\r\nJohn Lawson also reported how well the horses were treated by the Indians.... “These creatures they continually cram and feed with maize, and what the horse will eat—‘til he is as fat as a hog, never making any farther use of him than to fetch a deer home”.\r\n<h3>Edmund Ruffin’s Report on Banker Horses (mid-1800’s)</h3>\r\nIn 1856, another historian visited the Outer Banks. His name was Edmund Ruffin, famous as an authority on agriculture and as an editor (but more usually credited with firing the first shot in the Civil War). He said “Twice a year on the Banks, the stock owners hold a wild horse penning, at which time all of the wild horses on the island were corralled and the colts branded. The horses pennings are much attended, and are very interesting festivals for all the residents of the neigh-boring mainland. There are few adults residing within a days sailing of the horse pen that have not attended one or more of these exciting scenes. A strong enclosure, called the horse pen, is made at a narrow part of the reef and suitable in other respects for the purpose---with a connected strong fence stretching quite across the reef. All of the many proprietors of the horses, and many assistants, drive the horses from the remote extremities of the reef, and easily encircle and bring all the horses to the fence and near to the pen”.\r\n\r\nRuffin said that all of the horses in use on the reef, and on many of the nearest farms on the mainland are of these previously wild “banks “horses. He described them as “all of small size, with rough shaggy coats, and long manes; their hoofs in many cases grow to unusual lengths, they are capable of great endurance of labor and hardship, and live so roughly that any others from abroad seldom live a year on such food and other such great exposure. By the same token, he said when the banks horses were removed to the mainland, away from the salt marshes, many die before learning to eat grain or other strange provider, while other injure or kill themselves in struggling in vain efforts to break through the stables or enclosures in which they are subsequently confined. The horses fed entirely on the coarse salt grasses of the marshes and supply their want of fresh water by pawing away the sand deep enough to reach the fresh water which oozes into the excavation, and which reservoir serves for this use while it remains open”.\r\n<h3>Federal Writers Project (late 1930’s)</h3>\r\nIn 1939 a book was compiled and written by the Federal Writers Project of the Federal Works Agency Work Projects Administration for the state of North Carolina. They write “On Cape Hatteras, wildlife is abundant. For years herds of wild horses, cattle, and hogs ranged at will, until the Federal Program of Sand Fixation by Grass Plantings necessitated a strict stock law. In 1938, the county placed a bounty on the few remaining wild horses, traditional descendants of Barbary horses brought over by the Raleigh colonists or saved from wrecked Portuguese ships. In winter, the waters are dotted with ducks and geese, and there is frequently the gleam of a white swan. Sandpipers and gulls feed in flocks, undisturbed by scurrying sandfiddlers. Eagles and Ospreys wheel above the water on the lookout for prey, and schools of porpoises sport just beyond the breakers of the roaring Atlantic.”\r\n<h3>Spanish Mustang Registry Observation (early 1980’s)</h3>\r\nDare County is only one of the counties that make up the North Carolina Outer Banks. Currituck County borders Dare on the north, and Hyde County on the south. In more remote areas of these counties, some of the pure Banker Horses were able to survive. In June, 1982, members of the Spanish Mustang Registry came to the Outer Banks and “due to feats of great endurance”, were able to observe the last known remaining bands of Banker Horses still existing in the natural state as they have been for the past 500 years---on the Currituck County Outer Banks.\r\n<h3>Conclusions</h3>\r\nAlthough the Ocracoke strain of Spanish mustang cannot be directly traced to a single breeder, importer, or sire, certain physiological features of present day horses, and historical data lead strongly to the conclusion that the ancestors of these horses were escapees from Spanish stock brought to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the first part of the 16th century.\r\n\r\nAccounts of Spanish explorations and colonization attempts in the early 1500’s state that Spanish Barb and Arabian horses were imported. One colony, d’Allyon’s, describes topographical features which Lefler and Newsome (A History of North Carolina, UNC Press, 1973) believe were around Cape Fear, North Carolina. The colony failed and the Spaniards retreated to their stronger holdings in Florida. The circumstances of the retreat, manner of travel and the coastal topography offer a combination of events conducive to the establishment of feral herds along the barrier islands.\r\nPresent day Ocracoke and Corolla wild horses carry the distinguishing features of Spanish type horses. One striking similarity to the Arabian ancestry is the number of vertebra (one less than most breeds) which occurs in the Banker Horse Breed. Their even temperament, endurance, size, and the startling beauty which crops up frequently in the Banker Horses all point strongly to their dramatic history...these are the remnants of once numerous herds of Spanish stock which ran free along the sandy islands of our coast.\r\n\r\nThe Spanish Mustang Registry is satisfied that the Banker Horses, in particular the Corolla strain, are as lineally pure to the 16th century Spanish importations as can be found in North America today, and that they compare closely to the selectively bred South American Spanish derivative stock.\r\n\r\n<strong>COROLLA WILD HORSE FUND</strong>\r\nP.O.

As he abruptly slammed the throttle into neutral, turned the ignition off, and headed toward the bow, he shouted, “Get me the net!”\r\n\r\nAs soon as he stepped up onto the bow platform—eyes hypnotically fixed ahead and upon the water—a casting tray loaded with a large cast net was handed to him. Wasting no time he pitched it into the air. When the net was pulled aboard, a mother lode of “white gold” spilled onto the deck— beautiful, hand-sized gulf menhaden (porgies) glimmered in the early-morning sunlight. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that Capt. Carl Miller is a man torn between two addictions. The only problem is figuring out which is the most compelling, the pursuit of the bait or that which feeds on it.\r\n\r\nIt no secret to big-trout specialist that porgies are considered the number one bait for catching monster specks. That’s why those in the know will spend hours just locating and catching porgies. “Sometimes it can take me all day to locate bait the size that I want,” Miller said. This day, however, was an exception, because it only took him about an hour.\r\n\r\nUndeniably, catching and keeping porgies alive can be an arduous task, even for an experienced 10-year veteran guide like Miller. “I use a ten-foot net with about 161bs. of lead,” he pointed out. These specialized cast nets open wide and fall fast, something very crucial if you want to catch the larger, faster swimming porgies.\r\n\r\nThrough the years Miller has gotten the technique down to a science, using two different type approaches to sneak upon the porgies. One is with the use of a trolling motor, and the other is the high-speed entry method, as previously described. The latter technique allows the boat’s momen- tum to quietly glide into the intended location. Once the porgies are located—sporadic splashes and slaps on the water’s surface—the large and heavy net is launched from a specially designed casting tray. The casting tray makes throwing such a large net easy in a confined area like a boat.\r\nYet even with the proper gear and technique, locating porgies can present a real challenge. For example, on an overcast day porgies won’t make the normal surface commotion that usually gives them away. “If a cloud passes over,” Miller exclaimed, “these baits quit flipping, move and go deep.” Another dreaded problem is that certain times of the day they will move deep into the marsh where you cannot catch them.\r\n\r\nAdmittedly, catching porgies is one thing; keeping them alive is another. Anyone that has ever tried to keep porgies alive knows that they are very fragile and will die quickly without the proper bait tank and care. This where a round 25 gallon plastic container with two Rex-Air pumps will keep the porgies alive for 3-5 hours; depending on the number of baits contained at one time.\r\n\r\n“One thing about catching big trout, you gotta fish for big trout,” Miller said. “People who catch one every once in a while—they’re fishing for small fish. There’s big fish everywhere, but you have to fish for ‘em. If you fish for `em, you’ll catch `em. Everybody says they want to catch a big trout, but they don’t want to spend the time and the effort. You have to have the patience to do it.”\r\n\r\nIronically, while many other professional guides resort to fishing inconspicuous locations off the beaten path, this is not the case with Miller, who can be seen even on busy weekends fishing right along side other boats in his favorite territory—the barrier rocks of East Timbalier Island or Belle Pass. The main thing is to have the right bait and then look for fishable water. This does not mean you have to have a good tide. Big trout can still be caught even on bad tides, so long as you find clean water.\r\n\r\nMiller fishes with porgies from springtime to late fall and consistently puts big trout in the boat while others look on in total astonishment. “At any given time there’s big fish along this beach,” he said of the rock boulder barrier sporadically lining the Gulf side of the island. This is a favorite haunt for speckled trout and other species, since they can get deep inside the hurricane-damaged barrier and hide in ambush. Some trout have been living inside of these slim-coated boulders for so long that their bellies have turned from white to black as a result.\r\n\r\nAnother secret to successfully catching big speckled trout is to cover as much territory along the rocks as possible—particularly as the weather heats up. According to Miller, the big fish spread out more in summer than in spring. That is why at times he will slip through certain openings in the rocks to get to the back side of the barrier to fish. This, however, is not recommend for those new to the area because rock boulders lurk inches below the surface and have wreaked serious havoc on many a lower unit.\r\n\r\nPersistence is perhaps Miller’s most notable quality and one that does not come easily to most anglers in such a grueling environment. Therefore, it’s not unusual for him to stay out all day long hunting for bait and big speckled trout in the sun’s unbearable heat. In some cases—depending on how many people are fishing and how the fish are striking—bait has to be pursued twice or more each day.\r\n\r\nA 7-foot rod armed with a bait casting reel works well for hooking these big boys, but there is a lot more technique involved than what meets the eye. Big speckled trout don’t just come up and swallow the porgy all at once on the initial strike.\r\n\r\nThe systematic approach involves casting and allowing the bait to swim on a free and slack line, usually no weight, depending on the current. However, if the current is moving and the fish are deep, a 1/16 to 1/4 oz. split shot or rubber grip weight should be placed 2-3 ft. above the bait. The key is using only enough weight to slowly bring the bait down. When the line is all set up right and the water is calm and clear, the porgy can be seen swimming around near the subsurface.\r\n\r\nA watchful eye is needed for any fluctuation in the line while keeping the rod tip high and toward the bait. Strike sensitivity can be enhanced by pinching the line ahead of the reel. When a trout is in hot pursuit, the line will start to shudder like a catfish nibbling. This is the signal to feed line out for several seconds until it starts to run out on its own. At this point it is necessary to wait a couple of more seconds before setting the hook.\r\n\r\nIn order to successfully hook the fish, the rod has to be lifted over your head with a brisk sweeping action. Miller admits that even with such orchestration and calculation the fish sometimes is not hooked, depending on the trout’s attack approach. Sometimes the trout will only bite and release the bait, in an attempt to kill it, and then turn right back around and engulf it.\r\nOnce the fish is on the line and fighting, Miller says “You can’t go to pulling too hard on the trout or you’ll rip his lips. You have to keep him coming from the rocks but not jerking on him. Do it gradually.”\r\n\r\nOf further significance is the type of hook and the placement of it in the porgy. That’s where a no. 3 Kahle horizontal hook placed through the nose section can be prove most effective. Too large of a hook can weigh the porgy down and hinder its natural swimming ability. If strikes are missed more than usual, hookup ratio can be improved by moving up one hook size or placing the hook in a different location. Miller claims that it is not a good idea to hook the porgy in the back because the bait will out maneuver the trout, making it a harder target.\r\n\r\nIt is most amazing how effective live porgies of such size drive speckled trout, into an uncontrol- lable response to strike. Even trout not much larger than the bait will try to take a swipe. On a few occasions specks came right to the side of the boat when the porgy hung over the side. It was as if the trout went into some sort of fixed trance, unhindered and unconcerned by our presence, upon catching sight of the porgy.\r\n\r\n“I’ve seen trout come out of those rock flats and wop!— take that bait and go right back down,” Miller excitedly exclaimed. However, when the fish is not hooked, the bait is immediately reeled in and examined for any sign of bites, which inconspicuously show up as two small pin-hole punctures from the trout’s two fang-like front teeth. If there’s any evidence of the aforesaid, the porgy is replaced with a fresh one.\r\n\r\nMiller’s biggest speckled trout have been caught at night, fishing only by the light of a full moon. The protected shallow lagoons on the back side of the rocks, according to Miller, make for good nighttime fishing. This is when the big, skittish trout come out to feed.\r\n\r\nBut all of the right bait and techniques won’t do much good if there’s a lot of noise aboard, Miller claims. Slamming ice chest lids or dropping tackle on the deck are things not conducive to catching the bigger trout.

One is with the use of a trolling motor, and the other is the high-speed entry method, as previously described. The latter technique allows the boat’s momen- tum to quietly glide into the intended location. Once the porgies are located—sporadic splashes and slaps on the water’s surface—the large and heavy net is launched from a specially designed casting tray. The casting tray makes throwing such a large net easy in a confined area like a boat.\r\nYet even with the proper gear and technique, locating porgies can present a real challenge. For example, on an overcast day porgies won’t make the normal surface commotion that usually gives them away. “If a cloud passes over,” Miller exclaimed, “these baits quit flipping, move and go deep.” Another dreaded problem is that certain times of the day they will move deep into the marsh where you cannot catch them.\r\n\r\nAdmittedly, catching porgies is one thing; keeping them alive is another. Anyone that has ever tried to keep porgies alive knows that they are very fragile and will die quickly without the proper bait tank and care. This where a round 25 gallon plastic container with two Rex-Air pumps will keep the porgies alive for 3-5 hours; depending on the number of baits contained at one time.\r\n\r\n“One thing about catching big trout, you gotta fish for big trout,” Miller said. “People who catch one every once in a while—they’re fishing for small fish. There’s big fish everywhere, but you have to fish for ‘em. If you fish for `em, you’ll catch `em. Everybody says they want to catch a big trout, but they don’t want to spend the time and the effort. You have to have the patience to do it.”\r\n\r\nIronically, while many other professional guides resort to fishing inconspicuous locations off the beaten path, this is not the case with Miller, who can be seen even on busy weekends fishing right along side other boats in his favorite territory—the barrier rocks of East Timbalier Island or Belle Pass. The main thing is to have the right bait and then look for fishable water. This does not mean you have to have a good tide. Big trout can still be caught even on bad tides, so long as you find clean water.\r\n\r\nMiller fishes with porgies from springtime to late fall and consistently puts big trout in the boat while others look on in total astonishment. “At any given time there’s big fish along this beach,” he said of the rock boulder barrier sporadically lining the Gulf side of the island. This is a favorite haunt for speckled trout and other species, since they can get deep inside the hurricane-damaged barrier and hide in ambush. Some trout have been living inside of these slim-coated boulders for so long that their bellies have turned from white to black as a result.\r\n\r\nAnother secret to successfully catching big speckled trout is to cover as much territory along the rocks as possible—particularly as the weather heats up. According to Miller, the big fish spread out more in summer than in spring. That is why at times he will slip through certain openings in the rocks to get to the back side of the barrier to fish. This, however, is not recommend for those new to the area because rock boulders lurk inches below the surface and have wreaked serious havoc on many a lower unit.\r\n\r\nPersistence is perhaps Miller’s most notable quality and one that does not come easily to most anglers in such a grueling environment. Therefore, it’s not unusual for him to stay out all day long hunting for bait and big speckled trout in the sun’s unbearable heat. In some cases—depending on how many people are fishing and how the fish are striking—bait has to be pursued twice or more each day.\r\n\r\nA 7-foot rod armed with a bait casting reel works well for hooking these big boys, but there is a lot more technique involved than what meets the eye. Big speckled trout don’t just come up and swallow the porgy all at once on the initial strike.\r\n\r\nThe systematic approach involves casting and allowing the bait to swim on a free and slack line, usually no weight, depending on the current. However, if the current is moving and the fish are deep, a 1/16 to 1/4 oz. split shot or rubber grip weight should be placed 2-3 ft. above the bait. The key is using only enough weight to slowly bring the bait down. When the line is all set up right and the water is calm and clear, the porgy can be seen swimming around near the subsurface.\r\n\r\nA watchful eye is needed for any fluctuation in the line while keeping the rod tip high and toward the bait. Strike sensitivity can be enhanced by pinching the line ahead of the reel. When a trout is in hot pursuit, the line will start to shudder like a catfish nibbling. This is the signal to feed line out for several seconds until it starts to run out on its own. At this point it is necessary to wait a couple of more seconds before setting the hook.\r\n\r\nIn order to successfully hook the fish, the rod has to be lifted over your head with a brisk sweeping action. Miller admits that even with such orchestration and calculation the fish sometimes is not hooked, depending on the trout’s attack approach. Sometimes the trout will only bite and release the bait, in an attempt to kill it, and then turn right back around and engulf it.\r\nOnce the fish is on the line and fighting, Miller says “You can’t go to pulling too hard on the trout or you’ll rip his lips. You have to keep him coming from the rocks but not jerking on him. Do it gradually.”\r\n\r\nOf further significance is the type of hook and the placement of it in the porgy. That’s where a no. 3 Kahle horizontal hook placed through the nose section can be prove most effective. Too large of a hook can weigh the porgy down and hinder its natural swimming ability. If strikes are missed more than usual, hookup ratio can be improved by moving up one hook size or placing the hook in a different location. Miller claims that it is not a good idea to hook the porgy in the back because the bait will out maneuver the trout, making it a harder target.\r\n\r\nIt is most amazing how effective live porgies of such size drive speckled trout, into an uncontrol- lable response to strike. Even trout not much larger than the bait will try to take a swipe. On a few occasions specks came right to the side of the boat when the porgy hung over the side. It was as if the trout went into some sort of fixed trance, unhindered and unconcerned by our presence, upon catching sight of the porgy.\r\n\r\n“I’ve seen trout come out of those rock flats and wop!— take that bait and go right back down,” Miller excitedly exclaimed. However, when the fish is not hooked, the bait is immediately reeled in and examined for any sign of bites, which inconspicuously show up as two small pin-hole punctures from the trout’s two fang-like front teeth. If there’s any evidence of the aforesaid, the porgy is replaced with a fresh one.\r\n\r\nMiller’s biggest speckled trout have been caught at night, fishing only by the light of a full moon. The protected shallow lagoons on the back side of the rocks, according to Miller, make for good nighttime fishing. This is when the big, skittish trout come out to feed.\r\n\r\nBut all of the right bait and techniques won’t do much good if there’s a lot of noise aboard, Miller claims. Slamming ice chest lids or dropping tackle on the deck are things not conducive to catching the bigger trout.

You have to keep him coming from the rocks but not jerking on him. Do it gradually.”\r\n\r\nOf further significance is the type of hook and the placement of it in the porgy. That’s where a no. 3 Kahle horizontal hook placed through the nose section can be prove most effective. Too large of a hook can weigh the porgy down and hinder its natural swimming ability. If strikes are missed more than usual, hookup ratio can be improved by moving up one hook size or placing the hook in a different location. Miller claims that it is not a good idea to hook the porgy in the back because the bait will out maneuver the trout, making it a harder target.\r\n\r\nIt is most amazing how effective live porgies of such size drive speckled trout, into an uncontrol- lable response to strike. Even trout not much larger than the bait will try to take a swipe. On a few occasions specks came right to the side of the boat when the porgy hung over the side. It was as if the trout went into some sort of fixed trance, unhindered and unconcerned by our presence, upon catching sight of the porgy.\r\n\r\n“I’ve seen trout come out of those rock flats and wop!— take that bait and go right back down,” Miller excitedly exclaimed. However, when the fish is not hooked, the bait is immediately reeled in and examined for any sign of bites, which inconspicuously show up as two small pin-hole punctures from the trout’s two fang-like front teeth. If there’s any evidence of the aforesaid, the porgy is replaced with a fresh one.\r\n\r\nMiller’s biggest speckled trout have been caught at night, fishing only by the light of a full moon. The protected shallow lagoons on the back side of the rocks, according to Miller, make for good nighttime fishing. This is when the big, skittish trout come out to feed.\r\n\r\nBut all of the right bait and techniques won’t do much good if there’s a lot of noise aboard, Miller claims. Slamming ice chest lids or dropping tackle on the deck are things not conducive to catching the bigger trout. Like he says, “These fish don’t get this big by accident!”\";}i:5691;a:2:{s:3:\"key\";s:9:\"post_date\";s:5:\"value\";s:19:\"2011-11-01

Make them ahead of time and freeze so all you have to do is the final steps. They make wonderful appetizers for your Thanksgiving and Christmas guests. They can be taken directly from the freezer and fried but allow a little extra time to cook.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ingredients:</strong>\r\n• 1.5lb shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped \r\n• 2 cups cabbage, finely chopped \r\n• 1 teaspoon salt \r\n• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce\r\n• 2 tablespoons rice wine, sherry or 2 tablespoons white wine \r\n• 1 tablespoon green onion, chopped • 1 tablespoon sesame oil \r\n• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, chopped\r\n• 2 garlic cloves, minced \r\n• 64 wonton wrappers (usually 1 pkg) \r\n• 1/4 cup vegetable oil \r\n• 1 cup chicken stock\r\n\r\n<strong>Directions:</strong>\r\nSprinkle salt over the shredded cabbage and let stand for 5 minutes, then squeeze out liquid. Squeeze out any liquid from the shrimp. Mix cabbage, shrimp, soy, wine, onion, oil, ginger and garlic (filling can be mixed and refrigerated for up to 6 hours in advance). On each wrapper (keep them covered with a damp cloth so they do no dry out) place about 2 tsp of the mix and seal the edges, use a bit of water on the edge, try to press out all the air and ensure they are tightly sealed (At this point you can freeze them individually on a cookie sheet and them place in a plastic bag. They will keep for a month. Defrost in fridge before continuing).

The Cape Lookout, NC area should be really hot with just about everything feeding up for winter. The False Albacore and big Spanish for the spin casters and fly fisherman should be red hot with these fish hitting just about anything small and shiny. The Flounder will be in full swing on their winter migration to the offshore waters and the Red Drum and Speckled &amp; Gray Trout should be feeding up as well out near the rock jetty. The inside water around Harkers Island, NC, Middle marsh and North river should still have some bait around as long as the water temperatures don’t fall too quickly and the best live bait to use for Red Fish is mud minnows. Since there was not a very good shrimp season this year, it’s going to be hard to find live shrimp, but the mud minnows should work just fine. The best rigs to use for live bait this time of year are a popping cork with about a 2 ft. 20 lb. test leader and also the good old Carolina Rig fished on the bottom. Also the use of scented baits such as Deep Creek scented baits, Berkley gulp, Blurp scented baits, as well as Honey Hole lures, are sure to catch some nice Speckled as well as Gray Trout.\r\n\r\nSome really good fall tackle offered in the tackle shops on and near Harkers Island is the new Penn Battle reels; they come in several sizes and they are some of the best that I have seen in a while. If you’re in the market for a rod, you might try the new Custom Blair Wiggins Rods, which are also really good, and the company offers a good variety to choose from.\r\n\r\nAnyone who happens to be over at Atlantic Beach should really stop by the new Southland Outfitters store and check out their new selections of fishing gear and apparel as they have a great selection for the fall fishing season with several new lines to choose from.\r\n\r\nDecember usually brings favorable weather conditions and the first two weeks are gener- ally the best. So, visit your local tackle shops, gear up, and get out on the water for some great Fall Fishing. If you are looking for charters, call now, because fall fishing charters book quickly.

The Illusion had just been purchased from a brokerage firm in Grasonville, MD and was on a voyage to her new home somewhere in Florida. To safely cross the shoals you must know how to run what is known as the slot to local mariners. The slot is a slough that runs west to east through the shoals but you must be experi- enced at making that crossing. It is difficult at best for the inexperienced to make this crossing during daylight hours but to attempt it at night is only for the more experienced captains who know this area. The safest alternative would have been to travel 12 miles south of Cape Lookout and made their eastward turn at the Knuckle buoy which marks the end of the shoals. Either way it’s not known why the crew decided to make the fate- ful choice of crossing the shoals only 300 yards off the Cape Lookout point.\r\n\r\nA distress call from the Illusion went out Sunday October, 9 to the Coast Guard Sector North Carolina watchstanders at 7:37pm. The crew of two reported they had lost all power, were taking water over the stern, and rising water had drowned out the Generator. A Coast Guard boatcrew from Station Fort Macon launched a 47’ lifeboat to assist, but due to shoreline surf condi- tions, was unable to approach the vessel.

The Illusion had just been purchased from a brokerage firm in Grasonville, MD and was on a voyage to her new home somewhere in Florida. To safely cross the shoals you must know how to run what is known as the slot to local mariners. The slot is a slough that runs west to east through the shoals but you must be experi- enced at making that crossing. It is difficult at best for the inexperienced to make this crossing during daylight hours but to attempt it at night is only for the more experienced captains who know this area. The safest alternative would have been to travel 12 miles south of Cape Lookout and made their eastward turn at the Knuckle buoy which marks the end of the shoals. Either way it’s not known why the crew decided to make the fate- ful choice of crossing the shoals only 300 yards off the Cape Lookout point.\r\n\r\nA distress call from the Illusion went out Sunday October, 9 to the Coast Guard Sector North Carolina watchstanders at 7:37pm. The crew of two reported they had lost all power, were taking water over the stern, and rising water had drowned out the Generator. A Coast Guard boatcrew from Station Fort Macon launched a 47’ lifeboat to assist, but due to shoreline surf condi- tions, was unable to approach the vessel. A local towboat company also heard the distress call and dispatched a rescue boat but was unable to reach the grounded Illusion.\r\n<h3>Hard aground</h3>\r\nA MH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter was deployed from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C.

A Northeast Fisheries Science Center report indicates that while the summer flounder stock was successfully rebuilt in 2010, angler harvest data compiled through the Marine Recreational Fishing Statistical Survey (MRFSS) and applied to NOAA assessment models predicts fishing mortality rate will be exceeded in 2011, once again causing statutory overfishing to occur. In addition to known flaws with the MRFSS data, independent scientists have also been critical of the assessment models used by the federal fisheries service.\r\n\r\nCiting new findings, the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) warns that harvest limits originally recommended by council members for 2012 are actually too high and may need to be reduced. On top of recent reports from the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regional fishery management councils that sea bass and red snapper fisheries have also been closed to anglers due to flawed data, the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA) said they are moving forward with another rally in Washington DC later this winter like the one held during the winter of 2010.\r\n\r\n“In conducting stock assessments, NOAA Fisheries is using recreational harvest data deemed fatally flawed and woefully inaccurate by the National Academy of Sciences, which is exactly why Congress told them to stop using MRFSS as of 2009,” said Jim Donofrio, RFA’s executive director. “Whether it’s sea bass, red snapper or fluke, annual or semi-annual stock assessments don’t mean squat when you’re using illicit data and questionable models.”\r\n\r\n“Five years is long enough to wait for Congress to react, so if they’re not coming to us then it looks like we’ll be heading back to see them this winter,” he added.\r\n\r\nReauthorized in 2006 by unanimous consent with support from ‘green’ groups like Pew Charitable Trusts and their Pew-funded affiliates including Marine Fish Conservation Network and Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, the Magnuson Stevens Act calls for rigid rebuilding deadlines while incorporating annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures like catch shares to help ratchet down regulatory controls on fishermen.\r\n\r\n“RFA has taken our lumps by some in the industry because we’ve been so openly vocal about the issues with Magnuson while also rallying for more accountability from our federal government, but who can sit back quietly while this injustice continues,” Donofrio asked, adding “this is a jobs issue.”\r\n\r\nLast week, Donofrio appeared before a House Resource Committee hearing on behalf of America’s coastal anglers, and specifically brought up the issue of NOAA’s inattention to meeting require- ments set forth by Congress. “We don’t have a data collection program that Congress mandated in the 2007 reauthorization for marine recreational statistics, the new MRIP program, they’re still using the MRFSS data and they’re shutting down fisheries,” Donofrio told committee members,” adding “they told the judge we’re not using MRFSS data anymore.”\r\n\r\nTwo years ago, RFA brought a federal lawsuit against NOAA for closing the black sea bass fishery using data compiled through MRFSS. Based on the NOAA testimony, a federal judge determined that there would no future fishing closures based on MRFSS data given the fact that NOAA was no longer using MRFSS, rendering RFA’s lawsuit moot. That’s a concern which Donofrio and the RFA have specifically brought to the attention of Congress.\r\n\r\n“NOAA’s legal team essentially showed a copy of the Magnuson reauthorization of 2007 showing where Congress mandated that MRFSS be replaced as of January 1, 2009,” Donofrio said. “While NOAA has yet to meet their congressional obligation three full seasons later, our recreational fishing community is being forced to adhere to a broken law enforced by an overzealous and contentious enforcement office.”\r\n\r\nDonofrio told House Resource Committee members that coastal businesses are having a bad enough time staying open in a down economy, but when combined with burdensome regulations based on hopelessly flawed harvest data, many recreational fishing professionals have been get- ting out of the business entirely. “They’re disgusted with federal regulations that are not allowing them to fish on rebuilt stocks and NOAA’s not doing a thing about it, what they want to do is add more layers of bureaucracy that costs more money when they’re not spending the money to keep us fishing,” Donofrio said.\r\n\r\nIn response to a question from Rep. Jon Runyan (R-NJ) Donofrio said issues experienced within the New Jersey congressman’s home district were the same as those down in the southeastern United States and throughout the Gulf, “all the way down to Mr. Southerland’s district,” he added, referencing committee member Rep. Steve Southerland who also took NOAA to task at the recent hearing. “We have people sitting at the dock can’t catch red snapper because the stock assessments and the data that NOAA’s been using is flawed, we’re literally tripping over red snapper, tripping over them” Donofrio said.\r\n\r\nSince 2007, RFA and their coastal allies have vocally pressed forth with support for legislation to reform the Magnuson Stevens Act to rewrite the fouled language which has allowed NOAA to shirk its responsibilities while punishing coastal fishing communities. Donofrio said it’s been an uphill battle because of congressional gridlock and an industry divided. “A handful of legislators were led to believe that Magnuson was just fine back in 2006, but that’s obviously not the case,” Donofrio said.\r\n\r\nAccording to MAFMC chairman Rick Robins, part of the problem with summer flounder is the fact that NOAA Fisheries is taking important scientific funding away from his council and shifting the spending up north. “The current situation is an unfortunate consequence resulting from the redirection of Science Center resources to New England groundfish,” Robins said. While the MAFMC is in the process of scheduling meetings with the science and statistical committees to review the information before their December meetings, independent scientists including Brian Rothschild and Mark Maunder have openly challenged the data used by NOAA scientists in their assessments models.\r\n\r\n“There are scientists in the field who have critical data with regard to summer flounder to chal- lenge the government’s unreasonable findings, but the only way to shake some sense into this government bureaucracy is through an act of Congress,” Donofrio said. “Without a new benchmark assessment or peer review of the government data, there’s no way for individual anglers and independent scientists to challenge the data,” he said.\r\n\r\nDonofrio said the best option for protecting the future of saltwater angling opportunities is to fix a broken law while securing legislative commitments to overhauling a big government bureaucracy which he says “has gone rogue” in the past 3-1/2 years. “Comprehensive reform of the law is the only choice right now, and the quicker the industry realizes that they’ve been hoodwinked by anti- fishingintereststhequickerwecanaddressourcoastalaccessissuesinfrontofCongress,” headded.\r\n\r\n“There are several different Magnuson reform bills in Congress right now, including the more comprehensive version in HR3061,” Donofrio said, adding “what we need is get the whole suite of legislation into committee for review and debate so that we can get the law fixed now to protect jobs.”\r\n\r\n<strong>About Recreational Fishing Alliance</strong>\r\n<em>The Recreational Fishing Alliance is a national, grassroots political action organization representing recreational fishermen and the recreational fishing industry on marine fisheries issues.

A Northeast Fisheries Science Center report indicates that while the summer flounder stock was successfully rebuilt in 2010, angler harvest data compiled through the Marine Recreational Fishing Statistical Survey (MRFSS) and applied to NOAA assessment models predicts fishing mortality rate will be exceeded in 2011, once again causing statutory overfishing to occur. In addition to known flaws with the MRFSS data, independent scientists have also been critical of the assessment models used by the federal fisheries service.\r\n\r\nCiting new findings, the Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) warns that harvest limits originally recommended by council members for 2012 are actually too high and may need to be reduced. On top of recent reports from the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regional fishery management councils that sea bass and red snapper fisheries have also been closed to anglers due to flawed data, the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA) said they are moving forward with another rally in Washington DC later this winter like the one held during the winter of 2010.\r\n\r\n“In conducting stock assessments, NOAA Fisheries is using recreational harvest data deemed fatally flawed and woefully inaccurate by the National Academy of Sciences, which is exactly why Congress told them to stop using MRFSS as of 2009,” said Jim Donofrio, RFA’s executive director. “Whether it’s sea bass, red snapper or fluke, annual or semi-annual stock assessments don’t mean squat when you’re using illicit data and questionable models.”\r\n\r\n“Five years is long enough to wait for Congress to react, so if they’re not coming to us then it looks like we’ll be heading back to see them this winter,” he added.\r\n\r\nReauthorized in 2006 by unanimous consent with support from ‘green’ groups like Pew Charitable Trusts and their Pew-funded affiliates including Marine Fish Conservation Network and Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, the Magnuson Stevens Act calls for rigid rebuilding deadlines while incorporating annual catch limits (ACLs) and accountability measures like catch shares to help ratchet down regulatory controls on fishermen.\r\n\r\n“RFA has taken our lumps by some in the industry because we’ve been so openly vocal about the issues with Magnuson while also rallying for more accountability from our federal government, but who can sit back quietly while this injustice continues,” Donofrio asked, adding “this is a jobs issue.”\r\n\r\nLast week, Donofrio appeared before a House Resource Committee hearing on behalf of America’s coastal anglers, and specifically brought up the issue of NOAA’s inattention to meeting require- ments set forth by Congress. “We don’t have a data collection program that Congress mandated in the 2007 reauthorization for marine recreational statistics, the new MRIP program, they’re still using the MRFSS data and they’re shutting down fisheries,” Donofrio told committee members,” adding “they told the judge we’re not using MRFSS data anymore.”\r\n\r\nTwo years ago, RFA brought a federal lawsuit against NOAA for closing the black sea bass fishery using data compiled through MRFSS. Based on the NOAA testimony, a federal judge determined that there would no future fishing closures based on MRFSS data given the fact that NOAA was no longer using MRFSS, rendering RFA’s lawsuit moot. That’s a concern which Donofrio and the RFA have specifically brought to the attention of Congress.\r\n\r\n“NOAA’s legal team essentially showed a copy of the Magnuson reauthorization of 2007 showing where Congress mandated that MRFSS be replaced as of January 1, 2009,” Donofrio said. “While NOAA has yet to meet their congressional obligation three full seasons later, our recreational fishing community is being forced to adhere to a broken law enforced by an overzealous and contentious enforcement office.”\r\n\r\nDonofrio told House Resource Committee members that coastal businesses are having a bad enough time staying open in a down economy, but when combined with burdensome regulations based on hopelessly flawed harvest data, many recreational fishing professionals have been get- ting out of the business entirely. “They’re disgusted with federal regulations that are not allowing them to fish on rebuilt stocks and NOAA’s not doing a thing about it, what they want to do is add more layers of bureaucracy that costs more money when they’re not spending the money to keep us fishing,” Donofrio said.\r\n\r\nIn response to a question from Rep. Jon Runyan (R-NJ) Donofrio said issues experienced within the New Jersey congressman’s home district were the same as those down in the southeastern United States and throughout the Gulf, “all the way down to Mr. Southerland’s district,” he added, referencing committee member Rep.

Jon Runyan (R-NJ) Donofrio said issues experienced within the New Jersey congressman’s home district were the same as those down in the southeastern United States and throughout the Gulf, “all the way down to Mr. Southerland’s district,” he added, referencing committee member Rep. Steve Southerland who also took NOAA to task at the recent hearing. “We have people sitting at the dock can’t catch red snapper because the stock assessments and the data that NOAA’s been using is flawed, we’re literally tripping over red snapper, tripping over them” Donofrio said.\r\n\r\nSince 2007, RFA and their coastal allies have vocally pressed forth with support for legislation to reform the Magnuson Stevens Act to rewrite the fouled language which has allowed NOAA to shirk its responsibilities while punishing coastal fishing communities. Donofrio said it’s been an uphill battle because of congressional gridlock and an industry divided. “A handful of legislators were led to believe that Magnuson was just fine back in 2006, but that’s obviously not the case,” Donofrio said.\r\nAccording to MAFMC chairman Rick Robins, part of the problem with summer flounder is the fact that NOAA Fisheries is taking important scientific funding away from his council and shifting the spending up north. “The current situation is an unfortunate consequence resulting from the redirection of Science Center resources to New England groundfish,” Robins said. While the MAFMC is in the process of scheduling meetings with the science and statistical committees to review the information before their December meetings, independent scientists including Brian Rothschild and Mark Maunder have openly challenged the data used by NOAA scientists in their assessments models.\r\n“There are scientists in the field who have critical data with regard to summer flounder to chal- lenge the government’s unreasonable findings, but the only way to shake some sense into this government bureaucracy is through an act of Congress,” Donofrio said. “Without a new benchmark assessment or peer review of the government data, there’s no way for individual anglers and independent scientists to challenge the data,” he said.\r\n\r\nDonofrio said the best option for protecting the future of saltwater angling opportunities is to fix a broken law while securing legislative commitments to overhauling a big government bureaucracy which he says “has gone rogue” in the past 3-1/2 years. “Comprehensive reform of the law is the only choice right now, and the quicker the industry realizes that they’ve been hoodwinked by anti- fishingintereststhequickerwecanaddressourcoastalaccessissuesinfrontofCongress,” headded.\r\n\r\n“There are several different Magnuson reform bills in Congress right now, including the more comprehensive version in HR3061,” Donofrio said, adding “what we need is get the whole suite of legislation into committee for review and debate so that we can get the law fixed now to protect jobs.”\r\n\r\n<strong>About Recreational Fishing Alliance</strong>\r\n<em>The Recreational Fishing Alliance is a national, grassroots political action organization representing recreational fishermen and the recreational fishing industry on marine fisheries issues.
