Outdoor Writing Prompt Giveaway ~ Sponsored by GreenFish

February 15, 2011 By 75 Comments

This weeks writing prompt is sponsored by
GreenFish ~ Promoting a lifestyle of sustainable fishing

Some of you may be aware of GreenFish and some of you may not, so we hope everyone takes a moment to check out their website GreenFish. I think as Outdoor Enthusiasts, we all care about the Outdoors and the impact we have–positive & negative– when we engage in our chosen outdoor activities which is why it’s easy for us to partner up with any company that promotes a positive impact to the world around us.

Greenfish is an outdoor apparel company with a bold Mission:  ”To promote recreational fishing and improve our fisheries by encouraging responsible fishing practices such as catch and release and donating to organizations that work towards similar goals.”

And we think that’s a great concept to stand behind.

GreenFish has three primary goals:
1) Improve our fisheries and marine environments
2) Promote responsible and sustainable fishing techniques such as catch & release
3) Promote and protect the sport of recreational fishing for future generations to enjoy

This Weeks Writing Prompt:
What does sustainable fishing mean to you? What fishing practices do you engage in that help fisheries? Any other thoughts you might have on this subject?

The Giveaway: (12 prizes=12 winners!)

  • 2 Fly Tee gray L/XL
  • 2 Beanie Hats
  • 2 Visors
  • 2 Classic hat L/XL
  • 2 Hoodie L / XL
  • 1 Classic Tee Olive L

        JM – not at all – we just promote MORE C&R, not 100%. Selective harvest is necessary for ongoing fisheries management. Actually – on our Home Page – we specifically say “While we dont expect all anglers to release 100% of their catch…”

        Thanks for your comments!

      I’m not really sure if I took it in the direction OBN and Greenfish were looking for , but I did do an article about it. Sustainable and responsible are two words that will get a saltwater fisherman’s blood boiling , especially if they’ve seen what the commercial boats are capable of. Here it is :
