Game Fishing

Schools of good-size bluefin tuna crashing bait off Washington State. Anglers up there hooking California yellowtail, finding packs feeding around flotsam. Mahi, Sierra mackerel and croakers in the Pacific Northwest too. Hordes of blacktip sharks invading Long Island Sound. On and on it goes, around the world.

It is happening, and while the ocean has been heating up for decades, the pace of warming has begun accelerating dramatically.

What all this means for us, as avid sport-fishing enthusiasts, remains to be seen. While the upshot for coastal communities and commercial fisheries might spell significant and painful long-term disruption, for anglers, there are likely to be short-term winners and losers—the former in previously cooler coastal waters as more new species of ­gamefish show up. But the long term appears to be coming much quicker than we ever expected, so find a grab rail and hold on for the confused seas ahead.

Many avid fishers have been purchasing the new Garmin STRIKER™ which has built in GPS and CHIRP sonar, coming in at over $250 we recommend purchasing a tempered glass screen protector for your fish finder here. 

ScreenShield has one of the largest range for screen protectors for fish finders and if we don't have the screen protector you need we will custom cut a screen protector for you.
