These species are managed in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) under the authority of the Secretary of Commerce, with consideration for the domestic and international aspects of these fisheries. Management of these species is outlined in the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (2006 Consolidated HMS FMP) and its amendments. NOAA Fisheries frequently modifies the regulations to meet fishery management goals and requirements. This guide is intended to provide a plain language summary of how to comply with the HMS regulations for Atlantic tunas, swordfish, sharks, and billfishes. Important regulatory changes and corrections since previous versions of the Compliance Guide were published include, but are not limited to: Effective Date Description of Change October 2018 Measurement of Bigeye and Yellowfin Tuna Damaged through Predation by Sharks and Other Marine Species: If a bigeye and/or yellowfin tuna carcass has been damaged (i.e., bitten) by a shark or another marine species, it may be retained and landed if the remainder of the fish meets the minimum size of 27 inches (69 cm). No tissue may be cut away from or other alterations made to the damaged area of the fish.

  • BLACK BOX "Positive Voltage Control" the Scotty Black Box - How & Why There Has Been Much Research Into the Concept of Using Electricity to Catch Fish
    FISHING, MARINE & OUTDOOR PRODUCTS BLACK BOX "Positive Voltage Control" The Scotty Black Box - How & Why There has been much research into the concept of using electricity to catch fish. Commercial fishing vessels have been using Black Box technology for years and now recreational fishermen are tapping into this resource. The 20 foot Load Black Box has proven to be very Line & effective in trolling, mooching, Connector jigging and more. The purpose of Sleeve this publication is to explain why. Fish & Electricity No. 1201 Russian scientists first discovered Black Box that bony and cartilaginous fish respond to the presence of electricity in the water. Many species use electric signals to communicate, some repel predators with it and others use electricity to navigate. Salmon, among others, are attracted to a positive charge and repelled by a negative charge. By maintaining a steady and appropriate positive charge on your downrigger wire, it is possible to attract fish and keep them interested in your lures. The Black Box does this in both salt and fresh water. Electrolysis To understand the Black Box, one must first understand the principle of electrolysis. This process is also known as galvanic action. Metals are ranked according to how strongly they react with other metals. The lower they are on the galvanic scale (or the less "noble") the more strongly they react. When dissimilar metals are placed in an electrolytic solution, electricity flows between them (basically: a battery) and corrosion occurs. The difference in nobility, or ranking, of metals determines how much electricity will be generated. Zinc, which is very low in nobility, is used in sacrificial anodes on boats to prevent corrosion of metal parts because it will corrode long before other metals.

  • Owners Manual
    A well planned boat insures an easier, safer and more enjoyable fishing trip. Before mounting your Big Jon Sports® downriggers, planer riggers and rod holders, it is a good idea to get in the boat with your fishing buddies and locate the best placement of all trolling equipment. Every thing should be easily accessible to all members in your fishing party. On the following pages are some examples of popular layouts for a variety of fishing boats. Downriggers Mounted On The Transom Of A Tiller Steered Boat... For the owner of a small or mid-sized boat (with tiller steering) who often fishes by themselves, mounting a pair of downriggers on the transom is a practical choice. This layout keeps all essential equipment within reach and eliminates the need to move around the boat. Downriggers Mounted Amidship On A Tiller Steered Boat... Another popular layout for tiller boats is to mount the downriggers amidship. This allows easy access for both the person piloting the boat and for a second fisherman seated forward in the boat. Note that the sides of the boat keep the downrigger cables and fishing lines well clear of the motor’s propeller. A pair of pedestal mounts will allow the downriggers to clear the boat’s gunwales. Adding swivel mounting bases will make docking your boat easier. 1 On larger console style boats that will accommodate a larger fishing party, you have more opportunity to run larger lure presentations. However, the same considerations given to a small boat hold true. All equipment should be accessible to all of the fishing party.
