East Texas lakes find crappie fishermen switching gears to chase sandies when the crappie bite slows. West Texas reservoirs see the whites hitting on top. And in the Hill Country, the Highland Lakes often get hot. “All of the fish are on the main lakes,” said Joe Bray, who guides on several Hill Country lakes. -

Consumer Plannlng Section Comprehensive Plannlng Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas Texans Outdoors: An Analysis of 1985 Participation in Outdoor Recreation Activities By Kathryn N. Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ........................................................................................................... -

The Use of a Roving Creel Survey to Monitor Exploited Coastal Fish Species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa
The use of a Roving Creel Survey to monitor exploited coastal fish species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa by Carika Sylvia van Zyl A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Technoligae, Nature Conservation Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 2011 i I, Carika Sylvia van Zyl (s208027504) hereby declare that the work in this document is my own. ii Abstract A fishery-dependant monitoring method of the recreational shore-based fishery was undertaken in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the south coast of South Africa for a period of 17 months. The method used was a roving creel survey (RCS), with dates, times and starting locations chosen by stratified random sampling. The MPA was divided into two sections, Buffalo Bay and Groenvlei, and all anglers encountered were interviewed. Catch and effort data were collected and catch per unit effort (CPUE) was calculated from this. The spatial distribution of anglers was also mapped. A generalized linear model (GLM) was fitted to the effort data to determine the effects of month and day type on the variability of effort in each section. Fitted values showed that effort was significantly higher on weekends than on week days, in both sections. A total average of 3662 anglers fishing 21 428 hours annually is estimated within the reserve with a mean trip length of 5.85 hours. Angler numbers were higher per unit coastline length in Buffalo Bay than Groenvlei, but fishing effort (angler hours) was higher in Groenvlei. Density distributions showed that anglers were clumped in easily accessible areas and that they favored rocky areas and mixed shores over sandy shores. -

Hypothetical Effects of Fishing Regulations in Murphy Flowage, Wisconsin
::if I 3 Dept. of Natura1 Reeour~ Technical li !J rary 3911 Fish Hatc.tl9fY Road FitchburR; Wl 53711 • ~97 / HYPOTHETICAL EFFECTS OF FISHING REGULATIONS IN MURPHY FLOWAGE, WISCONSIN Technical Bulletin No. 131 • Department of. Natural Resources • Madison, Wisconsin • 1982 ABSTRACT This paper summarizes the hypothetical effects of bag, season, and size limits on the harvest of panfish, northern pike, and largemouth bass in Murphy Flowage; Wisconsin. Complete angler records were obtained through a compulsory registration-type creel census for 15 years. There were no bag, season, or size limits in effect at any time during the study. The hypothetical reduction in harvest with various regulations was calcu lated from detailed harvest records. The present bag limits in effect in most of Wisconsin would have had little effect on the observed harvest in Murphy Flowage. A 50-fish daily bag limit on panfish in aggregate would have reduced the observed harvest 2.9% in summer and 13.8% in winter. A 5-fish daily bag on gamefish would have reduced the northern pike harvest 0:5% in summer and 1.5% in win ter, while the harvest of largemouth bass·would have been reduced 2.5% in summer, with no effect in winter. A year-round open season would have had very little effect on the har vest. A maximum of 7% of the northern pike and 4% of the largemouth bass were taken during the normal closed season, 1 March to the 1st Saturday of May. A later opening date could have a marked effect on the harvest, especially on largemouth bass since 50% of the annual harvest was taken by the end of June. -

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 1.1. To properly elevate deep sea angling to its rightful place among the other participating sports. It is the intent to fish only the best Anglers and Skippers/Boat Captains (hereinafter referred to as Skippers) under regulations which will prove the winning team to be the best in the Tournament. 1.2. These fishing rules have been evolved internationally so that in their observance, every fish and angler should have a sporting chance. Captures in which the fish has not fought, or in which the fish has not had the chance to fight, except on the gaff, rope or in the boat, are not caught with the intent of these rules and do not reflect credit on the fish or the fisherman.
