you with fishing books on how to fly fish like an expert. For instance,
you'll receive the World Record Game Fishes Book, with over 350

Join the
United Fishing Association Today- The United Fishing
Association was founded to further the interests of sport fishing
throughout the United States. Membership is available to anglers
in all 50 states for the low annual fee of just $20. UFA is the
only all-encompassing organization designed to unify and strengthen

but we'll help promote your favorite pastime.

SeaWatch newsletter to keep you up-to-date on Florida's fishery
and conservation issues. Additionally you'll receive a subscription

Recreational Fishing Alliance- You can join the RFA
and fight back for our fish stocks. The government, the industrial
fishing fleets, and politicians and commercial fishing fleets are
destroying the stock of fish in our nations rivers and lakes. We
need you on our team. Please join today for $25 membership.
Billfish
Foundation- They're big. They're beautiful. They're
world travelers. AND THEY'RE IN TROUBLE. Their declining numbers
tell us about the over-exploitation and worsening state of our seas.
If billfish go, much more may follow. But each of us has the power
to keep these majestic creatures swimming our seas forever - if
we join together. During its first decade, The Billfish Foundation
(TBF), and its members worldwide, brought sweeping change to the
way our marine wildlife is regarded. Just ten years ago, many sport
fishing experts saw billfish only as trophies, but now, more anglers
than ever release for the future. Commercial longline fleets continue
to threaten billfish populations. During the past three decades,
they've reduced Atlantic billfish stocks to all-time lows. The Billfish
Foundation wants longline boats to avoid areas where billfish are
concentrated and release alive those caught.
The
Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council- is one of
eight regional Fishery Management Councils which were established
by the Fishery Conservation and Management Act in 1976. The Council
prepares fishery plans which are designed to manage fishery resources
from where state waters end out to the 200-mile limit of the Gulf
of Mexico.
