Childhood is better at the end of a fishing line. 🎣❤️ (IG: theweesefamily)

Yesterday, I met with fishermen from my district who finally got to catch red snapper en masse for the first time in over a decade — only for a Washington judge to shut it down the very next day. That’s not okay. We’re fighting to reverse this and Make Fishing Great Again.

Yesterday, ASA joined partners on Capitol Hill to advocate for improved South Atlantic red snapper management and greater access for recreational anglers. We're committed to securing a 2026 season and advancing science-based management that moves beyond one and two-day seasons.

Fishing is more than a hobby in eastern North Carolina; it’s part of who we are. Great meeting with @asafishing and the hardworking team from Grady-White Boats to discuss the importance of protecting our coastal economy and the communities that depend on it. From boat builders and tackle shops to marinas, tourism, and small businesses, recreational fishing supports thousands of jobs and keeps our coastal towns moving.

Five leading recreational fishing organizations, including ASA, are supporting a new Stanford-led scientific initiative to better understand and protect Pacific bluefin tuna. Learn more: joincca.org/five-recreatio…
