Sportfishing Industry Pleased with Withdrawal of Vessel Speed Rule, More Work to be Done

NOAA Fisheries formally withdrew a proposed rule that would have had dire consequences on public access to fishing along much of the eastern seaboard. The North Atlantic Right Whale Vessel Strike Reduction Rule, originally published in the Federal Register in 2022, would have limited vessels larger than 35 feet from traveling faster than 10 knots (11.5 mph). The proposed speed restrictions would have governed coastal waters from Massachusetts to Florida and been in effect for roughly half the year.Feb 1st, 2025

On October 12, 2024, Craig Williams achieved a remarkable feat by landing a 4.62-kilogram (10-pound, 3-ounce) snubnose pompano while fishing in Dampier, Australia. This impressive catch earned him the IGFA Men’s 3-kg (6 lb.) Line Class World Record for the species. The pompano was enticed by Craig's crab fly, and after a brief battle, he successfully landed the fish. Craig then recorded its weight on his certified scale before safely releasing it back into the water.Feb 1st, 2025
