iAngler has provided FWC with a great platform for collection of angler-based recreational fisheries data. In particular, information on what anglers release—i.e., fish that never makes it to the dock to be observed by samplers—has been a big help on stock assessments of Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Red Drum and other coastal fisheries. As a matter of fact, given our trust in the program, FWC is now engaging iAngler in the collection of Red Snapper data in the Gulf of Mexico.
