A February 2009 survey conducted by AnglerSurvey.com indicates that only 54 percent of the respondents plan to fish waters outside of their home states this year. A February 2008 survey had more than 59 percent of the respondents planning to fish out-of-state waters.
For those states where fishing is a major economic drawing card and tourist attraction, the news is disheartening, though expected.
The 2009 survey also asked fishermen to indicate their favorite saltwater game fish.
The striped bass emerged as the most popular with 20 percent of the surveyed anglers indicating that they fished for striped bass at least once during the season.
