Congressional Friends of saltwater anglers

Graham and Rep. Jeff Duncan enjoy the Lowcountry Outdoors

Cover from October 2012 issue

A recent feature article concerning the Politics of Fish, recognizes the Congressman who are standing up for the average recreational angler. Author Jeff Angers is the President for the Center for Coastal Conservation, and is a native of Louisiana. Jeff Angers has offered this blogger counsel and friendship, and I appreciate his work ethic. The fact that his feature article appears in the October issue of Sport Fishing Magazine, sends a clear signal that editor Doug Olander also appreciates the work that Jeff Angers is doing in D.C. on behalf of the average recreational angler. In Olander's Editorial entitled Movers and Shakers, he states that while Jeff Angers' name might not be familiar to many readers, he has become well-known in D.C. for voicing concern on behalf of marine-fish conservation and sport fishing. Furthermore, South Carolinians (my home state) can be proud that Representative Jeff Duncan is highlighted in this important article. Duncan was active in S.C.'s natural resources long before he migrated to D.C. and is now a strong supporter of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. On a recent trip to D.C. for the DU 75th anniversary I found Duncan in attendance, and he greeted me warmly and told me that I could assure readers that he would look out for the interests of hunting and fishing. It seems that Angers' article would validate what Duncan, and the other deserving Who's Who of Congressional saltwater sportsman, are doing to safeguard those interests.
