On This Episode
This week is the first part of a two-part series discussing the new regulation changes ADCNR has proposed for tournament fishing on the Coosa River system reservoirs. Joining us this week is Alabama Wildlife & Freshwater Fisheries’ Damon Abernathy. A former tournament angler, current resident along the shores of the Coosa System, and the Assistant Chief of Fisheries, Damon is here to answer questions about the proposed changes and their impacts on local economies, tournament trails, and recreational anglers.
Join us as we discuss the current state of the Coosa fishery, the research behind the proposed slot limit, tournament mortality, catch-weigh-release (CWR) tourneys, the history of stocking programs on the Coosa Lakes, the economic impact of tournament fishing, and how Abernathy believes the proposed changes could lead to a 70% increase in bass over 20” on the Coosa.
