28.04.2022 Just in case any of you happen to be free on the evening of the 30th, I'll be getting grilled!

28.03.2022 One of our committee members Andy Moore was part of the team that conducted this national survey - the first of its kind looking at recreational fishing for Southern Bluefin Tuna across its range in Australia. For the first time, we can put some numbers to the recreational catch of SBT, which has huge implications for the way stocks of this very special fish will be managed into the future.

02.03.2022 Participate in the survey now, and go in the draw for some very generous prizes!

18.02.2022 A sobering fact. Ozfish Unlimited's work is tremendously valuable and necessary.

04.02.2022 Adam Martin showcasing the new Tacklebox app. Record what you caught, find out how your catch stacks up against existing records, and see what scientific studies have been conducted on the species you caught. The app will even instantly ID and measure your catch for you - all you have to do is take a photo with your phone.

21.01.2022 For some species, rec catch is either comparable to, or exceeds commercial catch - Julian Hughes (DPINSW)

20.01.2022 Reef Vision is a community-based monitoring program run by RecfishWest. Fishers deploy Baited Remote Underwater Video modules and collect data to monitor the effectiveness of artificial reefs - Andrew Rowland and Steph Watts (RecfishWest)

20.01.2022 Steve Starling, who needs no introduction, the MC for this conference.

19.01.2022 Maintaining genuine relationships with traditional owners and strengthening those relationships is key to growing the recreational fishing industry in the Northern Territory. There are opportunities to continue growing and working together into the future - David Ciarovolo (AFANT)

18.01.2022 Proud to say that Recfishing Research is involved in organising this event - all about involving recreational fishers in fisheries science, and making sure they get the data too...

17.01.2022 Can't come to the National Recreational Fishing Conference? Don't worry, you can still listen to all the presentations! This year's conference will be live-streamed, and you can buy tickets for that here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/arff-national-recreational- Remember, it's not just a conference for academics! The presentations are going to be delivered in plain English - real information, for real fishers.

17.01.2022 Solid events run by some smart, motivated people for all kinds of fishers, all capped off with the collection of fish size, health and species data collated via a mobile app. The prizes are pretty legit too! Super impressive.

16.01.2022 Ozfish Unlimited - building social capital by working with communities and traditional owners to restore aquatic habitats around the country - Craig Copeland (Ozfish Unlimited)

16.01.2022 We've also added a "Fish Info" webpage to the site. The first addition is about "Fish Handling" - tips based on the best available science: https://www.recfishingresearch.com.au/fish-handling

15.01.2022 Dr. Julian Pepperell walks us through the 50 year history of the billfish tagging program in Australia.

15.01.2022 The world is changing, and recreational fishing is losing social license. The scrutiny on recreational fishing is growing, and is unlikely to go away. Citizen science is one way we might regain that social license - Steve Starling

15.01.2022 The National Recreational Fisher Survey is live! Please participate and circulate widely. The more people who fill it in, the better a picture we get of who we are, and how we can better serve the needs of the community.

13.01.2022 The White Spot prawn virus is a lesson for us all. Please DO NOT use imported prawns intended for human consumption as bait. The White Spot prawn virus has unfortunately appeared in SE Queensland again. Diseases such as White Spot have the potential to devastate industries and ecosystems here in Australia. Once these diseases get out into the environment, there's not much that can be done to eradicate them. https://www.abc.net.au//white-spot-found-in-two-q/12167696

12.01.2022 There have always been different values among recreational fishers. Neither are wrong, and we need to acknowledge them to move forward and manage fisheries effectively and sustainably.

12.01.2022 Rec fishing has public health implications too - Andreas Seger (SARDI)

07.01.2022 Introducing Dave Donald - one of the presenters at the National Recreational Fishing Conference. Science is not just for people with lots of letters behind their names - it's a way to structure the way we observe things, and make sense of what is happening. Come to the conference and hear Dave talk about how carefully documenting his observations during fishing helped him to build his knowledge of the marine ecosystem, and his business, but also uncover some worrying trends in his local fishery.
