Known for “serving fresh chum daily,” Brian Bennett and the Moldy Chum crew utilize an “irreverently serious voice” to cover all aspects of fishing, the industry and conservation. We were pleased to have Brian stop by #TheGuidePost to chop it up about conservation challenges, anadromous fish and the impact of “the five H’s".

Well, ASMFC did it. It's almost unfathomable, but they did find a way to ignore a 98% majority in the public comment window for Addendum 1 for striped bass management.

They utilized an efficient flow of discourse at today's ASMFC Winter Meeting to never even acknowledge or discuss what 1900+ striped bass stakeholders demanded with their public comments.

From the initial seconds they transitioned from the presentation to the discussion, minority Option D took center stage. This same Option D received a total of THREE (3) votes across the ENTIRE east coast public comment period. This motion was workshopped with a substitute motion until the Board came to an agreement, choosing to "kick the can down the road". Not a single second of discussion about what 1900+ stakeholders told the Board they wanted to see in their fishery.

In this rapid reaction podcast, Tony summarizes what went down in another largely disappointing ASMFC Striped Bass Board Meeting.

Discussing the results of a recent genetics research effort focused on false albacore.

Peter Jenkins, the owner of the Saltwater Edge, stops by to put a bow on 2022 and looks forward to some exciting goals for 2023.
