  • Executive Summary
    Bass Tournament Results 2008 Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Participation in the Tournament Reporting Program totaled 308 black bass fishing tournaments in 2008. This was an increase over the 284 reported tournaments in 2007 and a new high total since the program started in 1999. For other years, the total number of reported black bass fishing tournaments ranged from anywhere between 110 in 1999 to 278 in 2002. Catch data statistics were obtained from 58% of all registered tournaments in 2008. This was also an increase from the 52% observed in 2007. Black bass tournament information was obtained from 14 different large reservoirs (> 1000 acres), 11 small lakes (< 1000 acres), and the Ohio, Cumberland and Kentucky rivers. The vast majority of black bass tournaments in 2008 reported using both creel limits and size limits during their tournaments. Most tournaments followed the regulations set for the specific water body that was fished, although some enforced more stringent regulations. Creel limits of 5 or 6-fish were used by 97.7% of all black bass tournaments; however, 1.3% reported using a creel limit of only 1-fish. Size limits most commonly used in tournaments were a 12-inch or 15-inch minimum size limit. The percentage of bass anglers who reported catching a limit during a tournament increased from 11.9% in 2007 to 16.2% in 2008. This was back on track with 2006 where 16.5% of tournament anglers caught their limit. The average length of a bass fishing tournament was 8.5 hours in 2008.

Schaefer III August 2016 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Completing this thesis, and, to a large extent, graduate school in general, to say the least, has been a journey. Journeys are often fraught with heartache and hardship, but they are also full of fun and excitement, and this adventure was no different. I was fortunate enough to be surrounded with a group of amazing friends and a mentor without whom this thesis would not have been possible. It was through this journey that I learned that the completion of a thesis, and graduate school survival, is not a feat completed by an individual alone, but by a group effort propelling an individual to a singular goal.

  • Policy Principles and Possibilities for the UNC Nutrient Study
    Policy Principles and Possibilities for the UNC Nutrient Study Jordan Reservoir at Seaforth Boat Dock, August 6, 2017. Water temp 78 F., Secchi depth .6 m, Conductivity ~ 140 ppm. By Richard Whisnant, Ellen Gilinsky, and Jay Sauber With support from the North Carolina Policy Collaboratory August 2017 Whisnant, Gilinsky & Sauber, for UNC Nutrient Study (2017) Summary The authors combined their experience with water quality programs and interviews with colleagues around the country to produce this set of recommendations and notes for use in the UNC Nutrient Study. The Seven Important Policy Principles are recommendations that we believe should be debated, discussed, and then put to use in some form as soon as possible, as the UNC team and stakeholders begin to chart a new nutrient management strategy for Jordan and Falls Lakes. The principles are: 1. Science + Outreach + Governance. Science leads this study; we expect it to result in a state-of-the art understanding of nutrient fate and transport in and around these reservoirs. Science in the service of public policy needs outreach and management “baked in” to ensure it is transparent and useful to stakeholders and the ultimate policy makers. 2. Start by getting the primary goals right. North Carolina’s water quality standards for nutrient sensitive waters were not created for the purpose of protecting these reservoirs. The designated uses should be refined, in a collective, consensus-based process, with the stakeholders. Appropriate water quality standards, based on scientific criteria—likely site- specific and seasonal—should then be tailored to support those uses. 3. Collective responsibility and accountability.
