Count on anglers to find the positives in a challenging situation! 🎣❤️
Our hearts go out to everyone affected by one of the most destructive hurricane seasons in recent memory. In the face of adversity, it’s incredible to see the resilience and spirit of the community - even if that means finding a little humor in fishing right in the middle of your street. In times like these we could all use the powerful physical and mental benefits of casting a line.
In all seriousness, stay strong and help out your fellow humans. We’re all in this together. If you are interested in making a donation, visit the @americanredcross.

Do you go fishing along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Maine? Has a predator taken your fish while fighting it on the end of the line? A team from @umass is conducting a survey on depredation - when a predator partially or wholly consumes an angler’s catch before it is landed. If this is something you’ve experienced, then they need to hear your views on depredation. To take the survey, tap the 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘.
