Comments Off on Anglers’ Legacy introduces new PSAs

ALEXANDRIA, VA (January 27, 2010) – The Anglers’ Legacy program is introducing new print public service announcements (PSAs), the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) announced today. The PSAs contain dynamic and relevant new images and messaging, which reflect the program’s increased efforts to mobilize America’s avid boaters and anglers to introduce newcomers to the sport. Outdoor enthusiasts will be encouraged to ‘make a promise that’s easy to keep’ and take someone new fishing. The new full page PSAs are available in three creative concepts, each with a separate theme; memories made with friends, passing down the legacy to new generations, and the importance of conservation and protecting our waterways.

Fishing For Bedding Bass In Georgia

Comments Off on Fishing For Bedding Bass In Georgia

Many people condemn fishing for bedding bass. They say it hurts the bass population in several ways. In many northern states there is a bass season that does not open until after the bass bed. But in the south, there is no season and it is legal to fish for bedding bass. And every indication says catching bass off the beds does not hurt the bass population.
