This shows just one of the benefits that come from tagging. Thanks to Rob's efforts, we know that the reds are definitely on the move.

That Buxton fish was hauling butt!

At first glance this really shows how valuable tagging can be. For instance, given that red drum appear to be highly migratory it would make sense for a multi-state management plan within a given range. Flounder, however, may be more effectively managed on a state-by-state level given their sedentary nature.

It'd be cool if these agencies posted this data to a website. I'd love to see more information on their migration and capture patterns.
