Julia Mason Bernstein, BTT Youth Ambassador, pleasant! With 20 IGFA world records now in her belt, the 7th-grad student from Miami is on her method to famous pushing skill!
Julia’s favourite species to target are cobia, bonefish, and force. Her mother was her first angling instructor. As she got older, she began fishing with Officers Dale Bittner and Steve Impallomeni. They have taught me a lot, they claim. Every day we travel, I learn from them.
Conservation, in Julia’s opinion, means protecting fish populations and their habitat so that the next generation can grow to love fish as much as I do. One of the ways she is pursuing that goal is by using appropriate catch-and-release techniques. She is particularly concerned about corporate fishing and bycatch, another issue. ” Each year, an estimated 100 million sharks and rays are killed by hunting and fishery, while watermen discard an estimated 4 pounds of finfish per pound of shrimp”. Julia wrote to her lawmaker with the idea of a act to minimize fishery and researched and presented on the subject at school. ” Green fish methods”, she says, “are essential for both business and sports fishing”.
The Florida Keys are Julia’s favourite place to fish. ” Together with BTT”, she says,” I will continue to raise awareness and take action to preserve our amazing ecosystem”.
