This spring, DMF’s Recreational Fisheries Program collaborated with talented illustrator Jay Talbot to re-envision our “FishMA” sticker. In an effort to capture some of the amazing diversity of saltwater species and the thrill of saltwater fishing in Massachusetts, the team worked with Jay to create a series of stickers that celebrate our favorite fishes. Headlining the series is the iconic striped bass, full of fight and personality. The rest of the series has something for every angler across Massachusetts, including bluefin tuna, mackerel, fluke, black sea bass, haddock, and the small but mighty tautog! The first run of stickers has been incredibly popular at fishing shows, bait and tackle shops, angler education clinics, and other events, and a second print run is already underway. The stickers are a great way to celebrate the Massachusetts saltwater fishing community and help connect anglers with everything the Recreational Fisheries Program does, including the Commissioner’s Cup derby, research and citizen science, and angler education.
