Last week I sent out a call for New Year's resolutions from local fishing experts. I managed to get an interesting list of ideas and cannot wait to share them. It is an eclectic group with most serious and a few self-deprecating.
Noted fishing captain and national fishing writer Al Ristori is a true sportsman and conservationist. His New Year's wish is that more anglers would learn to use circle hooks in 2011 to help reduce the mortality rate on the fish we release.
