IGFA WARF

Help the Fishing Community After Hurricane Ian

It’s hard to put into words the scale of devastation and destruction caused by Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida, said IGFA President Jason Schratwieser. While the rebuilding process after a disaster such as this takes time, the IGFA, Costa, and our partners in the Worldwide Anglers Relief Fund are working hard to support the captains and guides in this area.

Hottest Lure

The Hottest Lure You Can’t Buy Anywhere

Anglers catching Pacific bluefin tuna using Nomad MadMacs trolling lures have ignited a buying frenzy. Customers stand in line at tackle stores and search intently online to snap up whatever’s available. But the prices have skyrocketed, and that’s attracted a fair number of scalpers and prompted tackle retailers to limit purchases.

The bonus season runs from Friday, October 7 to Friday, October 14.

Photographer Catches the Fish

Sometimes the Photographer Gets to Fish

Here’s the thing about being a fishing photographer. You’ll spend countless hours on the water and days hanging at lodges you’d never be able to afford otherwise. You’ll fly to places you’d never have put on your travel list if it wasn’t home to a particular species that exists in that one location. You’ll also fish less than you ever have in your life.

Australia Snapper

Try to Identify This Fish Species

We had to take a closer look at this bizarre fish caught off Scott’s Reef, Australia. The species spends most of its time in small groups over sand bottom in up to 200 feet near coral reefs, where they feed on small fishes, benthic crustaceans and mollusks. Would you believe it if we told you it was a snapper?

Fish Los Cabos

Fish Los Cabos!

Make plans to fish the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament, October 16-20, 2022, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This is a family-friendly event with multiple departure points and plenty of ways to win.
