  • STAFF REPORT in the HEART Qj" the DELTA
    Agenda Date: 10/14/2014 CITY of Agenda Item: §.1 OAKM~X A PI.,\CE.for FAMILJES STAFF REPORT in the HEART qj" the DELTA Approved and Forwa ded to City Council: ' Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 Bryan H. To: Bryan H. Montgomery, City Manager From: Dwayne Dalman, Economic Development Manager SUBJECT: Sponsorship Agreement for FLW Fishing Tournament Summary and Background Oakley residents and those of neighboring communities enjoy the recreational activities of the Delta, including boating and fishing. For a number of years, the City has helped sponsor bass fishing tournaments in the Delta. These tournaments were originally held at the Big Break Marina in Oakley and then later moved to Russo's Marina on Bethel Island. The City has received a request from the Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) to help sponsor a bass fishing tournament in May of 2015. The sponsorship would be between the City of Oakley and FLW in the amount of $5,000. In return for the sponsorship, the City will receive the following benefits: • One full-page ad in the FLW Bass Magazine • Sponsorship listing on the FLWOutdoors.com website • City sponsorship mention in press kit distribution • City sponsorship mention in in pre and post event coverage In addition to the publicity benefits received from the tournament sponsorship, it is anticipated that the City will receive some economic benefits from the tournament participants and attendees that shop, eat and sleep in Oakley. However, Staff believes these economic benefits would be increased if the tournament were held in Oakley versus Bethel Island (there would be a greater likelihood that fisherman and attendees patronizing Oakley gas stations, stores, restaurants and hotel than if the tournament were held in Bethel Island).

    Pelagic Fishing Tournaments and Clubs in Hawaii Jennifer Schultz, Joseph O’Malley, and Adam Griesemer Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research 1000 Pope Road Honolulu, Hawaii 96833 Daniel Curran Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center 2570 Dole St. Honolulu, Hawaii 96822 Paul Dalzell Western Pacific Fishery Management Council 1164 Bishop Street, Suite 1400 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 SOEST 06-02 JIMAR Contribution 06-361 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to thank the tournament organizers and club members without whom this report would not be possible. We especially thank Dr. Craig Severance, Norman Swift, Roy Morioka, Elton Choy, Jody Bright, Sue Vermillion, Kathy Bakke and Donnell Tate for their input and help. This project was funded by cooperative agreement #658843 between the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of NOAA or any of its subdivisions. 3 ABSTRACT It is estimated that over 144 thousand residents and visitors engage in recreational pelagic fishing in Hawaii each year. Because the state does not require a license or catch and effort reporting for recreational fishing, it is difficult to describe this fishery. However, subsets of recreational fishermen participate in fishing clubs and tournaments, and the organizations and clubs that run recreational tournaments keep records on catch and nominal fishing effort; some have done so for over 40 years. There are at least 22 major tournaments, run by 13 clubs and 5 organizations throughout the state of Hawaii. This report provides a list and brief description of those that were active in the year 2003.

Tournament angling in Wisconsin: the economic impact of bass, salmon, and walleye fishing tournaments on host communities. MS in Recreation Management, May 2015, 36pp. (S. Simpson) This study investigated the economic impacts of tournament angling, specifically bass, salmon, and walleye fishing tournaments on host communities in the state of Wisconsin. Fifteen salmon, bass, and walleye tournaments were surveyed throughout the summer of 2014 to determine dollar values associated with each tournament. Tournament anglers were asked to share information on their spending habits throughout their stay in the community hosting the event. Anglers were asked to report their expenditures in nine main sectors: housing, grocery stores, restaurants, automobile transportation, boat operation, fishing equipment, boat launch fees, entrance or parking fees, and entertainment.
