Mauro Media New Podcast Website (http://mauromedia.com/category/podcast/fish-schtick-podcast/) Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds: Year End Edition www.GreenTackle.com (http://www.greentackle.com) Biggest story of the year – Deepwater Horizon. Billions of gallons of oil, a massive threat to the marsh, BP’s PR disaster, another kick in the guts for the Gulf Region, dispersant, fraud in claims, workers hospitalized, oil rig capped, what’s the state of the Gulf today? Nobody knows. Florida was crushed by frigid temps early in the year, killing millions of shallow water fish, which led to fishing closures…but it’s already bouncing back. July – Arkansas - High School Bass Fishing got its world championship. The first ever High School Fishing World Finals was fished in Russellville, Ark. on Lake Dardanelle. They’re just doing it for the girls. Access denied – Utah and California were hot-spots in access battles – Utah saw access reduced statewide on their streams through a new private land ruling this year. On a national front, Obama’s gonna take your fishing rod! No, he wasn’t, but a NOAA spacial planning roundtable had the fishing industry up in arms, and the plan got shut down. Alaska – banned felt soled wading boots, and invasive species were a hot topic coast to coast, whether it was zebra mussels or didymo or asian carp. Speaking of Asian Carp … Chicago, Illinois – gateway to the Great Lakes – the only place able to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes, by closing the Chicago Sanitary Ship Canal. Despite the pleadings of all other Great Lakes States – Illinois wouldn’t cooperate. Short term thinking. Stupid. In Washington DC - EPA issues centered around two big issues for fishing: ethanol in fuel and lead fishing tackle. They decided not to ban lead. Final decision on ethanol – pending. In Pro Bass Fishing: T. Boone Pickens bought into FLW, and Wal-Mart signed on again …new life for that organization. ESPN finally got BASS sold to Jerry McKinnis and his group, to the delight of many. Meanwhile, the PAA continued to grow as the angler-owned pro fishing circuit. Finally, Kevin VanDam won the Angler of the Year title AGAIN. Greatest of all time? Yes. Stewardship Tip of the Year – Make up for the other guy. Whatever you see hurting our waters – don’t be “that guy,” whether it’s litterbug guy or over-harvest guy or oil behind the garage guy. Don’t be “that guy,” but do something to make up for “that guy,” too. That’s how we get somewhere good.

From Washington, DC – the President’s 2011 Federal Budget is out for review, it includes a request of $1.6 billion for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. That’s a big number, it includes money for Climate Change Adaptation, safeguards for endangered species during renewable energy development, ecosystem restoration, land acquisition, and a Youth in Natural Resources Initiative. This week’s Recycled Fish Stewardship Tip: Encourage the publisher of your favorite magazines to print on recycled paper. A single magazine making the switch would mean 50,000 more trees a year in our forests, and 20 million gallons less wastewater.

And all who fish for bass across the land collect them too. They are the images from first light to last and from first fish to last. And we'd share them in a minute. Some recall particular triumphs, often preserved in snapshots and clippings, while others we tend to hide, at least until the time we're ready to laugh about them. Daybreaks, canebrakes, heartbreaks, muggy nights, and foggy mornings. A hundred things that worked, and a thousand more that should have. That's bass fishing." —-George Kramer Guest Intro / Interview Shaw Grigsby (http://www.one-more-cast.com/about.htm) is a hero to many, including me. MauroMedia no 59:27
