Podcasts about modern fish act

Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The Wright Brothers invented the airplane. If you are into bass fishing, we have with us an inventor who invented something even more impressive. Boyd Duckett is the man who came up with the concept for Major League Fishing, the hottest thing in bass tournament fishing ever. You have to give Boyd a listen as he explains it all. The Modern Fish Act has passed Congress and has been signed by the President. This is huge news for all anglers. Mike Leonard, Vice President of the American Sport Fishing Association explains how the ASA made this important act the law of the land. Dan Johnston from St. Croix explains how to deal with changing conditions. Who has ever been faced with that situation before? All of us, I assume!

We discuss the Modern Fish Act. What does this mean for us as anglers? We also briefly start discussing what Ron Desantis as been up to!

In Episode 12 of District of Conservation, Gabriella is joined by Allen Luck of American Sportfishing Association live in Old Town Alexandria. Allen serves as Digital Director at the trade organization and runs their "Keep America Fishing" initiative. He also is a tournament bass angler. Allen discusses his work with ASA, discusses the status of the Modern Fish Act, talks about his recent "catch of a lifetime", why shows like Mike Iaconelli's "Fish My City" can inspire more anglers to fish in urban areas, how to continue fishing participation, and how listeners could connect with him.

Jeff Angers, President of the Center for Sportfishing Policy, discusses the Modern Fish Act and its importance to federal fisheries management.

There's no introduction needed when it comes to Larry Dahlberg.  The guy is an outright genius, he's got a fantastic philosophy when it comes to fishing...and living. In this, the first of a two-part conversation, we went in asking for stories, and boy, did he deliver.  He talks about the curious (and somewhat grim) circumstances that led to his childhood guiding ventures, the meandering path leading to the birth of "The Hunt For Big Fish", and an interesting, vodka-soaked adventure in Russia. As we mentioned, it's Dahlberg...quite the interesting guy, and quite the compelling listen.  And remember, this is only the first part of a two-part conversation; as this episode ends, he's only getting started. We also got the chance to congratulate two new certified, bonafide IGFA World Record Holders: Australia's 11-yr old Emmi Roberts and USA's Dr. Elizabeth Joy Scott.  We'll have those pics up on social for you to check out. Finally, if you're here on or near post day (Sunday, July 8) and you live in the United States, you STILL have time to contact to your local representative and urge them to pass the H.R. 200, the Modern Fish Act.  For more information about that, check out the bonus episode in the links below. Thanks for listening, downloading, subscribing, rating, reviewing, and engaging with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  Keep it up!  

Curtis Fleming is quick to call Fly Rod Chronicles "reality fly fishing", and it makes sense; he isn't afraid to show the botches and bungles along with those trophy fish moments.  Well, this was definitely a "reality" podcast (since we are all about botches and bungles), and we were so happy to have him on Reelin' with the IGFA. Curtis is all about the great state of West Virginia, and was happy to talk about just how beautiful it is.  Forget that old John Denver song; he shared all about the beauty, diversity, and grandeur of the state.  For him, it's the "best kept secret in the United States", and it's the perfect place to raise a family. When you watch the show, visit his website, interact with him on social media, or talk to him one-on-one (or three-on-one in our case), you won't get very far without knowing just how important his family is to him.  It was great to hear all the stories he has about his wife Michelle and two daughters, Laken and Autumn.  Interestingly enough, he shared stories about all of them managing to secure a stockpile of IGFA world records...and he himself is still without one!  If you need one reason to listen, you have to hear the story about his wife's record; it will give you chills and possibly bring a tear to your eye. The big thing about this episode is the fun everyone had.  Curtis is the kind of guy that makes you feel like a friend from the moment you meet him, and you'll definitely hear it.  We laughed more in this episode than any other, and we're betting you'll be laughing, too.  We do warn you, however - especially those listeners from The Mountain State - there ARE West Virginia jokes in this episode.  But for the record, you can blame Kevin and Scott.  Chris lived in West Virginia for several years, married a Mountaineer, and knows better than to run down "Almost Heaven" (he did slam WVU once, but that doesn't count, does it?). One other VERY important note: if you haven't yet, please listen to our special bonus episode on the Modern Fish Act.  H.R. 200 is a big deal for recreational anglers, and it's coming up for vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on or near July 11, 2018.  Get the details on the bill and how you can help get it one step closer to becoming a law.

ASA Conservation Director Mike Leonard On Tuesday, June 26, 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives was scheduled to vote on H.R.200, more commonly known as the Modern Fish Act.  Due to necessary action on other issues, they postponed the vote until July 11.  Because of this postponement, we rallied the troops to bring you a special bonus episode dedicated entirely to the Modern Fish Act and what you need to know and do about it. Mike Leonard, Conservation Director of the American Sportfishing Association joined us to give us an in-depth, but wonderfully understandable description of H.R. 200 and it's potential impact on recreational fishing in the United States.  It's a short conversation, but a necessity for all anglers who are interested in protecting recreational fishing. Here are some points of interests for you regarding the Modern Fish Act: In summary, H.R. 200 revises and reauthorizes through FY2022 the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA).*  Magnuson-Stevens was signed into law in 1976, and has adversely affected recreational angling for several years. The Modern Fish Act: Requires periodic reviews of mixed-use fisheries allocations (i.e. those fished by both the commercial and recreational sectors) in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. It’s a no-brainer that the way a public resource is divvied up should be periodically examined, but that is not happening now. Clarifies that regional fishery management councils and NOAA Fisheries can implement management approaches such as harvest rate management that have been used successfully in some regions but that other regions have not even considered. Requires a National Academy of Sciences study of how Limited Access Privilege Programs (conveniently nicknamed “catch share” programs) in mixed-use fisheries could be improved to reduce user conflicts, and places a hold on implementing any new Limited Access Privilege Programs until the study’s results are public. Revises the rebuilding timeline requirement to ensure the timeframes are based on the biology of a depleted fishery, not an arbitrary 10-year rebuilding timeline. Anyone who supports science-based management should prefer this approach. Authorizes the use of multi-year and multi-species annual catch limits, which is simply a codification of recent updates to NOAA Fisheries guidelines. Requires NOAA Fisheries to respond if a state, regional fishery management council or interstate marine fisheries commission objects to an exempted fishing permit providing more clarity to the approval process. Requires a study of how third-party data, such as state-collected data through electronic reporting systems — e.g. iSnapper in Texas, La Creel in Louisiana, Tails ‘n Scales in Mississippi, Outdoor AL in Alabama and iAngler in Florida — could improve fisheries data. For many offshore fisheries, the federal program that estimates angler harvest — the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) — does not provide data at the level of accuracy or timeliness needed for basic management, much less in-season management of various fisheries. Tells NOAA Fisheries to implement the recommendations of the recent National Academy of Sciences review of MRIP and to follow up on key questions raised in the report, for example whether/how management could be better adapted to align with available data. Jeff Angers, "Modern Fish Act 101" Since the vote has been postponed until July 11, we encourage all anglers, regardless of where you're located, to contact your representative and urge them to pass the Modern Fish Act.  As Mike told us, environmentalist groups are lobbying diligently to have this bill voted down.  We need to be heard on this issue! Keep America Fishing has provided a very helpful page designed to get you in touch with your representative quickly and tell them you want them to pass the Modern Fish Act. Contact them HERE
