MEDIA RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Wednesday 16th<\/sup> December <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Christmas has come early for Australian recreational fishers with the launch of a new weekly online fishing show which is expected to attract listeners from around the nation and the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cTackle Box Talks\u201d will premiere this Friday at 7pm (AEDT) and is the product of the Australian Recreational Fishing Foundation\u2019s Tackle Box Project which is recognised as the nation\u2019s dedicated citizen science program for Aussie fishers.<\/p>\n

The 25-minute program will be live-streamed on the Australian Recreational Fishing Foundation\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

Hosted by one of Australia\u2019s most experienced fishing strategists and ARFF Manager Adam Martin, the show is designed to meet the needs of Aussie fishers who are already engaging in or have a strong interest in issues such as citizen science, fish habitat, water quality, stewardship, fisheries and water management.<\/p>\n

\u201cTackle Box Talks is absolutely a first of its kind to acknowledge and explore the bigger issues that affect fishers and our industry, so we plan to fill that existing void with targeted content and guest speakers who are specialists in their field, so listeners can have their questions answered during our Q&A session.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the peak body for Australia\u2019s recreational fishers, we know the types of conversations happening right now in local fishing groups and on the water in every part of the country, so we have created a platform where people can go to be better informed and to drive the content in real time,\u201d Mr Martin said.<\/p>\n

The first episode of Tackle Box Talks will feature one of Australia\u2019s most recognised fishing authors, presenter, pioneer in lure development and self-described \u201cagent of change\u201d in fisheries management \u2013 Frank Prokop.<\/p>\n

Mr Prokop will explore the aspirations of recreational fishers, the need for fishing to be regarded as a social experience along with the economic value of \u201cimproved fishing experiences\u201d- factors which he believes should be the main driver behind fisheries management.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to introduce the concept and explain the meaning of recreational fishing as a means of measuring \u2018maximum experiential yield\u2019 and challenge the long-held misconception by government that they are in the business of managing fish instead of people,\u201d Mr Prokop said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to engaging with listeners on this program which I think is a long overdue nod to Australia\u2019s fishers who have an extraordinary and sophisticated level of understanding about the many facets and benefits which our sport delivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so important that we keep these bigger conversations going to empower, educate and recruit the next generation of anglers,\u201d Mr Prokop added.<\/p>\n
