The Qualified Captain Podcast Episode #7 - American Sportfishing Association

The American Sportfishing Association is a non profit organization who has been looking out for the interests of the sportfishing industry and the entire recreational fishing community for over 90 years. Their efforts in making a fair and sustainable fishery do not go unnoticed. Without ASA, we would be battling government restrictions all on our own. I sat down with Martha Guyas, ASA’s Southeast Fisheries Policy Director, Mike Lenoard, ASA’s Vice President of Government Affairs, and Mike Waine, ASA’s Atlantic Fisheries Policy Director, and we discussed issues like whale speed restrictions, flounder season, red snapper population, striped bass updates, and our increased number of sharks.
