In this episode I’m joined by Scott Travers, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association.

Scott is a graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and Salve Regina University. Scott’s experience also includes working with the Rhode Island Division of Fish and Wildlife Aquatic Education Program to expand recreational fishing opportunities.

He is a fly tying Instructor, avid fly angler in both saltwater and freshwater, kayak angler, quoahogger, and wildlife conservationist.

Scott has a vast knowledge of all the rules and regulations ranging from catch limits to the differences in those limits between commercial and recreational fishing.

We talk about everything from RISAA’s take a kid fishing program to how for many, fishing isn’t just fun, it’s a source of food for families in Rhode Island. We also learn what it’s like to tag a shark off Block Island, Rhode Island and collect data for researchers. Fans of the film Jaws will relate to his story here.

As you’ll hear, Scott is a big proponent of groups like the one he’s involved with working cooperatively with other groups with similar goals to protect the environment for which they so deeply care.

There’s also a New England Saltwater Fishing Show in Providence in early March each year hosting 500 exhibitor spaces over 100,000 square feet of display. It is the largest show in the Northeast dedicated purely to saltwater fishing.
