A fisherman has caught an 83 pound wahoo to take the lead in the 2011 Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament. So far, a total of 1,116 citations have been earned for captured fish, while 2,395 citations have been issued for released fish. There have been 630 citations issued for released red drum and 769 for released white marlin. There are 472 release citations issued for speckled trout. (Note: illustration is not the fisherman, nor the fish -- it's from another catch in Virginia!)
Smart Phones as a tool for fishermen. An Australian based blogger provides commentary on a California program that lets fishermen know which areas of the California coastline are protected -- where fishing and other recreational activities are restricted or limited -- and which are not. Through an interactive map, users can locate a Marine Protected Area and find information about its boundaries and regulations. "One of the cooler features of this website is that you can actually get your location and then see where you are on a map and then see if you are in an MPA, or if any MPAs are around you," said Aaron Del Monte, a California Department of Fish and Game staff programmer analyst.
