2014 lothing
Performance C
With a legacy of producing the finest in offshore fishing tackle, AFTCO continues our tradition of excellence with a 2014 clothing line created for the serious angler and waterman. For more than 55 years AFTCO, The American Fishing Tackle Company, has been recognized for our precision-built, high performance offshore fishing tackle. It was the eventual development of the world’s first ever pair of offshore fishing shorts, the AFTCO M01 Original Fishing Short, that launched us into the sportswear business. With a team of designers from the surf industry recently added to the team, AFTCO has now combined our fishing heritage with surf wear and action sports technical innovation to create cutting edge sportswear for the serious saltwater angler & waterman. Yet that is only part of AFTCO’s living legacy. Inspired by our founder Milt Shedd, AFTCO, under the direction of son Bill, continues the serious endeavor of being a leader in protecting our oceans’ resources and maintaining angler access to those resources. From the sale of AFTCO clothing, more than 10 % of company profits are contributed annually to important marine conservation programs and research projects.

REMOVING GILLNETS
CARLSBAD HATCHERY
Sportfishing and conservation groups continue to battle the destructive effects of the established longline commercial fishing industry on the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Hawaii. While those longline battles are never over, no similar battle is being fought on the West Coast because there is no established longline industry. The main reason for that fact is that, some 20 years ago, AFTCO in partnership with UASC was successful in preventing the longliners from practicing their trade in California. Learn more about the ca. longline ban at:
In order to support Doris Allen in her legislative effort to ban gillnets in southern California, Bill Shedd worked with Bill Ray to form United Anglers of Southern California (UASC) in 1988. Bill Shedd then served on Allen’s management committee, coordinating the economic arguments supporting the gillnet ban and the organizing effort to gather 600,000 signatures. Thanks to AFTCO, and others supporting Doris Allen the gillnet ban south of Pt. Conception finally went into effect in 1992. Learn more about the gillnet ban at:
Milt and Peggie Shedd founded the Hubbs - SeaWorld Research Institute in 1963, a year before Milt co-founded SeaWorld. Milt started the renown HSWRI white seabass hatchery program in the late 1970’s. Bill Shedd later envisioned, organized and implemented a concept for a series of “grow out” facilities where sportfisherman donate 20,000 annual hours of volunteer time to raise fish in their home harbors and recently released the 2,000,0000th hatchery fish back into the wild.

DEFEATING LONGLINES
Several million dollars in cash contributions to research and conservation efforts,
Including approximately $500,000 in financial contributions in each 2012 and 2013. Playing a major role in the elimination of gillnets and longlines in California waters. The co-founding of SeaWorld by Milt Shedd. The founding of the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute by Milt & Peggie Shedd.

TAG & RELEASE
RIGS TO REEF
Starting with Milt Shedd in the early 1960’s, AFTCO and the Shedd family have been involved with tag and release in a big way. During a 20-year run from 1986 to 2006, the AFTCO TAG/FLAG tournament encouraged an increased interest in tagging. Today, AFTCO continues to fund the purchase of archival and satellite tags, which have been successfully deployed in yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, swordfish, and blue marlin. Read more about AFTCO’s historic TAG/FLAG Tournament in a well-documented feature by Marlin Magazine.
In 1995, influenced by a successful Rigsto-Reef program in the Gulf, Milt Shedd joined forces with Dan Frumkes to bring the program to California. They along with Bill Shedd formed the UASC - ASA Conservation Coordinating Committee that started a process that ultimately, with the help of others, led to legislation that created a R-T-R program in CA. Learn more about AFTCO’s California effort, a joint effort with Guy Harvey to produce a special edition R-T-R t-shirt design and AFTCO joining forces with Doug Olander to fight the “Idle Iron Policy” at:

www.aftco.com/ocean-conservation.htm
FIGHT AGAINST CLOSURES
Misguided environmental groups are increasingly calling for recreational fishermen to be denied access to the marine resource. At AFTCO, we are not against science based closures. What we are against is restricting angler access without a significant proven fishery benefit to overcome the angler’s personal loss and the loss to the resource and the economy. We have provided, and will continue to provide, both funding and leadership to prevent such misguided closures. To learn more about this issue visit:
www.aftco.com www.KeepAmericaFishing.org
AFTCO is a proud supporter of the Guy Harvey Ocean foundation. Each year AFTCO contributes more than $250,000 to the GHOF which funds inspired scientific research and innovative educational programs to encourage conservation and best management practices for sustainable marine environments. In 2010 after the BP oil spill, AFTCO and Guy Harvey teamed up with AFTCO’s retail partners and sales reps to raise $500,000 for the GHOF. These funds went to support marine research projects for studying possible implications from the BP oil spill. Learn more about the GHOF at guyharvey.com
