Recreational fishing in the United States is an important social
and economic component of many marine fisheries, with an estimated
14 million anglers making almost 82 million fishing trips in 2004.
Although each individual angler typically harvests a small number
of fish, collectively these sport fisheries can take a significant
fraction of the yearly catch-in some cases more than commercial
fisheries. For example, in 1999, recreational fishing accounted for
94% of the total catch of spotted sea trout, 76% of striped bass
and sheephead, and 60 percent of king mackerel. It is important
that systems used to monitor fishing catch are adequate for timely
management of recreational fisheries. However, the large number of
anglers and access points makes monitoring recreational fishing
much more difficult than monitoring commercial fishing. This report
reviews the types of survey methods used to estimate catch in
recreational fisheries, including state/federal cooperative
programs. The report finds that both telephone survey and onsite
access components of the current monitoring systems have serious
flaws in design or implementation. There are also several areas of
miscommunication and mismatched criteria among designers of
surveys, data collectors, and recreational fisheries. The report
recommends that a comprehensive, universal sampling frame with
national coverage should be established, and that improvements
should be made in statistical analysis of the data collected and in
the ways the data are communicated. A permanent and independent
research group should be established and funded to evaluate the
statistical design and adequacy of recreational fishery surveys and
to guide necessary modifications or new initiatives. Table of
