2005 Sportfishing Summit Uniting the Sportfishing Industry

Welcome to the Ocean Reef Club and the 2005 Sportfishing Summit, the American Sportfishing Association’s membership meeting and its premier networking event.

From special sessions to business workshops to association committee meetings, the 2005 Sportfishing Summit provides a myriad of opportunities to gain information on the most relevant issues facing the sportfishing industry as well as practical knowledge to help you develop and manage your business. We particularly encourage you to participate in the ASA Committee meetings in order to gain a better understanding of how the ASA staff and your colleagues work on your behalf.

The Ocean Reef Club is a great venue for our meeting. Aside from the sessions and meetings, there are many opportunities to network with your friends and colleagues during evening receptions and fishing and golf excursions. We also want to welcome the spouses who are attending the Summit and we hope you enjoy the special event that we have planned for you this year. The ASA and hotel staff will do their best to ensure your time here is an enjoyable one.

We know that attending the Summit is an investment of time and resources and we thank you for your support of our association and the future of sportfishing by being here. We encourage everyone attending the Summit to take advantage of the opportunity to share perspectives and experiences in order to ensure a prosperous future for our industry.
