  • Fishery-Independent Sampling: Florida
    Fishery-Independent Sampling: Florida SEDAR27-RD-03 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, Fisheries Independent Monitoring Program Procedures and Gear Description Background Two sampling designs (stratified-random and fixed-station) were initially employed by the FIM program to assess the status of fishery stocks in Florida estuaries. Both fixed-station and stratified-random sampling surveys provided information on length-frequency, age structure, reproductive condition, and relative abundance of fish populations. Fixed-station samples, however, cannot be statistically expanded to describe the fishery stocks beyond the actual sampling sites, while stratified-random samples can be extrapolated to describe an entire estuary. Monthly fixed-station sampling, therefore, was terminated in 1996. Monthly stratified-random sampling is currently conducted year-round using 21.3-m seines, 6.1-m otter trawls, and 183-m haul seines. A third sampling design (directed) was added to the program in 1993. The directed sampling surveys also provide information on relative abundance, length- frequency, age structure, and reproductive condition of fish populations; however, these surveys target commercially or recreationally important species (red drum, striped mullet, and spotted seatrout) that appeared to be undersampled by the gears used in the stratified-random sampling surveys. In directed sampling, nets are set upon visually detected schools of fish or in areas where high concentrations of the target species are expected to occur. While directed-sampling surveys for striped mullet continue, surveys for red drum and spotted seatrout were terminated in 1999, as the numbers and sizes of these species collected during stratified-random sampling proved to be adequate for stock assessment.

Lawrence Piper www.TheAnglersMark.com [email protected] 904-557 -1027 Table of Contents Tackle and Angling Page 2 Fish and Fishing Page 5 Fishing Spots Page 13 Trailering and Boating Page 14 General Page 15 1 Amelia Island Back Country Light Tackle Fishing Tips Tackle and Angling 1) I tell my guests who want to learn to fish the back waters “learn your knots”! You don’t have to know a whole bunch but be confident in the ones you’re going to use and know how to tie them good and fast so you can bet back to fishing after you’ve broken off. 2) When fishing with soft plastics keep a tube of Super Glue handy in your tackle box. When you rig the grub on to your jig, place a drop of the glue below the head and then finish pushing the grub up. This will secure the grub better to the jig and help make it last longer. 3) Many anglers get excited when they hook up with big fish. When fishing light tackle, check your drag so that it’s not too tight and the line can pull out. When you hookup, the key is to just keep the pressure on the fish. If you feel any slack, REEL! When the fish is pulling away from you, use the rod and the rod tip action to tire the fish. Slowly work the fish in, lifting up, reeling down. Keep that pressure on! 4) Net a caught fish headfirst. Get the net down in the water and have the angler work the fish towards you and as it tires, bring the fish headfirst into the net.
