Phenomenal fishing opportunities provide backdrop for 2023 NPAA ... - The Bass Cast

Forestville, WI (November 17, 2023) – The upcoming 2024 "Passion to Profession" NPAA Conference in Fort Myers, Florida, January 5 – 7, 2024, will not only provide attendees with incredible career-building, educational and networking opportunities, the location couldn't be better for nearby inshore saltwater and freshwater fishing.There are opportunities before the conference begins each day and after it closes to hit shore access spots where anglers like St. Croix Rod's Marketing Director and NPAA Corporate Partner, Jesse Simpkins, says he had "one of the finest days of snook fishing ever"—and less than an hour's drive from last winter's conference.Pat Neu, NPAA President commented: "The opportunity to take advantage of Southwest Florida's fishing opportunities and beautiful beaches was a key factor in choosing our conference location. If you have never visited Southwest Florida, you owe it to yourself to make this week a family event."NEARBY FISHING OPPORTUNITIESFor more information on where to fish within a short drive (or walk) from the NPAA Conference, reach out to the folks at local bait/tackle dealers like Master Bait and Tackle right on Bonita Drive—recommended by local guide and NPAA member, Captain Debbie Hanson. Tell them you're attending the NPAA conference, stop in and buy some bait and local lures, and chances are they'll give you the scoop on easy-access, bridge, beach, and canal bites, including mangrove snapper, seatrout, and the occasional snook or redfish.But there are charter and guided options available, too, especially if you book soon—with fellow, well-known NPAA members!

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
