Sustainable fishing practices

Overfishing

Nowadays, overfishing is a major risk for global fisheries. The rate of global oceanic fishing today is 2-3 times more than ocean replacement rates. As a responsible company, we release the fishes back into the water after
catching.

Pack Out Everything We Pack In

We use to bring it in, bring it out system. Ensure not to litter in the ocean and keep the fishing area clean. We also do not leave all sorts of junk behind on coastlines and in the water that causes problems. To protect the
environment, we bagging all of our detritus and bringing it to the land with us.

Practice Catch and Release

Practice catch and release fishing to reduce the impacts on fish populations. For responsible fisheries, practice catch and release following action,

• Pinch the barb on your hook flat so it’s easily removed.
• Do not intentionally snag fish. Release those that are snagged quickly.
• Use a circle or barbless hooks to lessen injury to the fish and make hook removal as easy as possible.
• Bring the fish to the boat as quickly as possible to avoid extreme exhaustion.
• Don’t use ultra-light gear for catch and release.
• Keeps the fish in the water and resuscitate it.
• Handle the fish gently with wet hands or moist gloves.
• Don’t lift the fish up in the air or squeeze it.
• Release the fishes back into the water after catching.

Use Lead-free tackle

Lead is still used in many fishing which can cause health problems for fish and wildlife if such devices are swallowed. Lead is toxic when we used lead sinkers and other tackle, we are essentially poisoning our fish and other natural resources. So we ensure to use lead-free sinkers, split shot, jig heads, etc….

Use tackle that matches target

Using tackle that is too light for the target will cause you to fight the fish for prolonged periods of time, greatly increasing the chances of reeling in a fish that is too exhausted to survive upon release. So, we make sure our
tackle is appropriately matched to the target species to help increase survival rates.

Additional tips & tactics for successful catch &
release

• Do not intentionally snag fish. Release those that are snagged quickly.
• Use a circle or barb-less hooks to lessen injury to the fish and make hook removal as easy as possible.
• Use heavy enough tackle to land the fish quickly. This avoids broken lines or unnecessary stress on the fish by playing it too long.
• When landing a fish, use a soft, knot-less or rubberized net. Rubber nets are much easier on fish and significantly increase post-release survival rates.
• If you must handle the fish, first wet your hands before handling fish to prevent the removal of the fishes’ protective coating.
• When handling a fish, pay special attention to not put your fingers in the gills or touch the eyes.
