This week, join Conrad as he reconnects with his good friend George, the new owner of The Tackle Shop in Falmouth, Maine. In their engaging conversation, they dive into the impact of the striper fishery's status on George's business, emphasizing the vital role conservation plays in ensuring its longevity. They discuss how being a well-informed fisherman is key to effective conservation of our fisheries, noting that it’s as much a responsibility of fishermen as it is for enforcement agencies to make information accessible. George shares insights on how diversifying fisheries not only benefits conservation efforts but also serves as an effective business strategy. The discussion also touches on George's past research on bonefish, highlighting how fishing can be a long-term research project where observation and being in the moment are key. Together, they explore their deep passion for fishing and the profound connections it fosters, making it a truly special experience to share with others. We hope that you enjoy this episode!

Takeaway: Have more of a conservation-minded outlook in whatever you do.
