The Virginia Game Fish Tagging

Program (VGFTP) started in 1995

primarily funded from Virginia

saltwater fishing license funds and

matching funds from VIMS.

The program began in the 1980’s

when Mr. Claude Bain, III, former

director of the Virginia Saltwater

Fishing Tournament (VSFT) under

the Virginia Marine Resources

Commission (VMRC) approached

Mr. Jon Lucy at the Virginia Insti-

tute of Marine Science (VIMS)

about developing a tagging project

on red drum.

Bain and Lucy realized not only were critical habitat and seasonal movement data limited for red drum in state wa-

ters, a similar situation existed for a number of other marine recreational species like black drum, cobia, speckled

trout, and tautog. As a result, they decided to explore developing a multi-species, angler-assisted tagging program.

Mr. Lewis Gillingham, is the current VMRC Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament (VSFT) Director and manages the

VMRC portion of the tagging program. Ann Burnett also of the VSFT, deserves special recognition for dedication to

the program, as she has more experience than any other staff member with the project (having been there from the

start!). Her consistent work, data management and guidance keep the program on track. Also from the VMRC, Mr.

Todd Sperling, takes the VGFTP to new levels with evolving web-based platforms and query options for the VGFTP

database program database.

Ms. Susanna Musick, Marine Recreation Specialist in the Marine Advisory Program at VIMS, is the Principal Investiga-

tor for the tagging program. Also at VIMS, Dave Ferree provides support for the tagging program by assisting with

data entry for our most prolific taggers. Ms. Cheryl Teagle coordinates purchasing tags while helping to manage the

tagging program budget. VIMS Publications provides critical assistance in the preparation of posters and annual re-

ports. Ms. Susan Stein in the VIMS’ Publications Center handles the printing production of annual reports. The VGFTP

is a team effort by many critical players, especially the anglers who devote significant time and effort to tagging tar-

get fish and reporting fish recaptures.

Through 2018, the Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program (VGFTP) has maintained a 23-year database of rec-ords for tagged and recaptured fish. The program is a cooperative project of the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament (VSFT) under the Virginia Marine Resources Commission-(VMRC) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) of the College of William and Mary (under the VIMS Marine Advisory Program). The main goal of the program is to train and maintain an experienced group of anglers who volunteer their time and to properly tag and release their fish catch. Data on tagged and recaptured fish are summarized in annual reports and are accessible on VIMS website: http://www.vims.edu/vgftp/. Time series data are orga-nized and provided whenever requested by anglers, angling groups, researchers, and fishery managers. Program participants are trained to tag only designated target species in Virginia waters. Participation in the program is capped at two hundred trained taggers. Supporting this number of taggers has been man-ageable when meeting tag and tagging equipment needs, performing timely data entry, and mailing of tag-recapture reports (and reward items) to anglers reporting catches of tagged fish. Funding for the program is applied for annually through a competitive proposal process under the VMRC Recreational Fishing Advisory Board. The program funding requires the Board’s positive recommendation, which then goes before the VMRC Commissioners for final approval. If funding is approved, Virginia Saltwa-ter Recreational Fishing License Funds (administered by VMRC) primarily cover budget needs, with addition-al matching funds contributed by VIMS. VIMS provides approximately 50% of matching funds for each pro-posal and both the VMRC and VIMS provide the majority of annual salary support for program staff each year. In short, the VGFTP provides excellent value. A cooperative but separate funding proposal from that of the VSFT office is submitted annually to the VMRC by VIMS. The VIMS portion of the program focuses primarily on coordinating, maintaining and purchasing all tags and tagging equipment (tag guns, tag sticks, tagging needles, and constructing measuring boards). Also included in the VIMS budget are local travel costs and costs for presenting program results at scientific meetings. VIMS also handles several printed materials including tagging training handouts, waterproof tag-ging data sheets, and laminated posters alerting anglers to target species and the telephone number for reporting recaptured fish. The design, printing and publication of annual reports also falls to VIMS, including data analysis and the publication and maintenance of digital reports on the VIMS website. The VSFT office also submits a separate proposed budget. This budget predominantly covers expenses asso-ciated with purchasing reward items for recaptures and mailing such items (with printed Fish Recapture Re-ports) to people phoning in tagged fish recapture information. Anglers who report tagged fish choose among various reward options including custom T-shirts, caps, sun visors, pewter fish pins, or plastic tackle organizers (as long as such items remain in stock). Recapture awards encourage diverse members of the public (including commercial fishermen, seafood dealers, etc.) to call in reports of tagged fish they encounter. The reward system and recapture reports pro-vide positive feedback to anglers and encourage them to continue to participate in the program and report future recaptures of tagged fish. Direct association of VGFTP taggers with others in the angling community

enhances program awareness, reminds anglers (and commercial fishers) of the importance of reporting tagged fish, and provides the angling community with positive fishery conservation role models. The pro-gram succeeds because of good teamwork across the angling community. The tagging program documents annual and year-to-year movement and habitat utilization patterns of se-lected finfish species in Virginia waters. For certain species, the program documents significant coastal migrations. Many of these species spawn in the lower Bay or nearshore waters of Virginia and use Virginia estuarine and coastal waters as nursery and feeding grounds. The program’s results are of interest to the angling community and to fishery researchers and managers. The number and size distribution of fishes tagged each year compliment other research-based data sets and can help fishery managers gain a more comprehensive picture of sizes of fish released in the state’s marine recreational fishery. Tagging effort for flounder, red and black drum, speckled trout, cobia, spadefish, triggerfish and sheeps-head primarily occurs in the Bay and nearshore coastal waters. However, tagging of tautog, black sea bass, spadefish and gray triggerfish occurs over much broader areas of the Bay and inshore-offshore waters. Tagging for structure-oriented species occurs on sites such as fishing piers, artificial reefs, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel complex, shipwrecks and other bottom sites occurring from the lower Bay to sites off-shore of Virginia. In the past, tagging data from the Yorktown Power Station (York River) and the Center for Energy Conser-vation Power Station (Elizabeth River) helped to document these important over-wintering sites for vari-ous species, especially speckled trout and red drum. Historical tagging effort at these warm water dis-charge sites through cooperation with Virginia Dominion Power largely came to an end in 2014 due to the lessened utilization those facilities, and that continues to be reflected in VGFTP data. Target species

Target species for 2018 appear below. Summer flounder replaced gray trout (weakfish) in 2000, the latest change to date.

Program Objectives

Basic objectives guide program activities. There are five main objectives: (1) Develop and maintain a quality tagging program using a corps of trained angler taggers; tagging effort of these anglers should be directed to target species, especially where one can take advantage of signifi-

Page 11: Virginia Game Fish Tagging Program Annual Report 2018

cant numbers of non-legal fishes which anglers are readily discarding alive while complying with recrea-tional fishing regulations. (2) Where and when appropriate, direct program tagging effort toward opportunistic occurrences of strong year classes of fishes in Virginia’s Bay and nearshore-offshore waters, especially species not tradi-tionally subject to scientific tagging studies in such waters, i.e., red drum, black drum, speckled trout, tau-tog, sheepshead, spadefish, etc. The program does not target species currently monitored and/or target-ed in state waters by research-based tagging studies coordinated by fishery research agencies and institu-tions, in particular, striped bass. (3) Maintain a database of tagged and recaptured fish records accessible to the angling community, but also of use to fishery researchers and managers as the database matures. Make summaries and reports of such data available to the angling community through annual reports, websites, presentations to angling clubs, kids fishing clinics, etc. and provide requested data to researchers and fishery managers. (4) Use the tagging program to enhance education of marine anglers about the importance of reporting tagged fishes to appropriate organizations, agencies, and research institutions to enhance understanding and management of key fishery stocks important to Virginia’s marine recreational fisheries. (5) Use program results to educate the angling community about fishery conservation and management benefits directly connected with proper handling and releasing of non-legal fishes. Tag-recapture data prove that using proper catch and release fishing practices results in better angling catches both short-term and long-term. The program maintains a group of experienced, trained, angler-taggers who can capitalize on opportuni-ties to tag key species that often exhibit high abundance levels during a given fishing season. These events contribute to supporting specific fisheries in Virginia’s valuable recreational fishery and take on even great-er value when this program documents sizes and abundance of recreationally-targeted fish and the habi-tats they utilize.

Database Management As in previous years, Mr. Todd Sperling’s (VMRC) skills are indispensable for managing the program’s data files. Since 2009, data are quarantined whenever a recaptured fish species does not match that of the tagged fish (such records are linked by their specific fish tag number). This feature allows the review of such data inconsistencies, which may be the result of various issues, i.e., recaptured fish tag numbers be-ing misread and thereby reported incorrectly, a recapture angler’s mistake regarding the species of tagged fish they caught, etc. Such reporting irregularities seem to occur most frequently at fishing piers and other heavily fished shoreline locations. Other cases may include “negative days at large” for recaptured fish, i.e., when a tagged fish’s reported recapture date is earlier than the reported tagged date. Also, if a recaptured fish’s size is significantly different from what would be expected, this may suggest either the person reporting the recapture badly estimated the fish’s length, or the recaptured fish’s tag number was reported incorrectly, etc.; such issues can then be investigated and hopefully clarified. These recapture data issues more often occur on reports called into the office and left on voice mail outside of regular office hours.

Details of Program Responsibilities

In addition to handling the majority of non-tagger recapture data entry, the VSFT office distributes tags, needles, etc. These items are regularly mailed to taggers and records are maintained regarding tag-number series assigned to the participants. This information is important for tracking down late tagged fish data reports for reported recaptures. Similarly, “Fish Recapture Reports” generated from the data-base are mailed to both the tagger and the angler reporting the recapture (along with the available reward item). This timely feedback loop is critical to the success of the tagging program. Every tag clearly states that a “REWARD” is offered for reporting recaptures of tagged fishes. Appropriate reward items (program caps, sun visors, t-shirts, fish pins, etc.) are mailed to anglers (and commercial fish-ers and fish dealers reporting tags) by the VSFT office along with fish Recapture Reports. The most popular reward item is the t-shirt, which must be printed in limited numbers each year to stay within budget. Typi-cally, late in the fishing year the t-shirt supply becomes exhausted. Then other reward items are substitut-ed for it (most reporters of recaptured fish understand such issues).

Data for both tagged and recaptured fishes are entered into the database maintained on a server at the VMRC. The VMRC database manager is proactive in contributing to the improvement of tagged and recap-tured fish data and outputs. Current options include setting up various reports that provide “single-click” data summaries for review and tracking program results.

VIMS continues to serve as a remote site for entering tagged and recaptured fishes data for selected pro-gram participants. To relieve some of the workload from the VSFT office, VIMS staff enter all data for the program’s most productive tagger, Mr. Ed Shepherd. From 2007-2018, Mr. Shepherd has tagged 2,000-10,000 fish annually, which resulted in 550-1000+ recapture reports each year. At VIMS, tagged fish and recapture data records are also checked for possible inconsistencies and errors; the corrected data are then analyzed and formatted for various presentations and reports. Figures demon-strating fish movement and habitat use patterns are also developed for a variety of educational programs (VIMS Marine Science Day, fishing clubs, and public presentations). Data and graphics are also developed in different formats for various program dissemination needs, i.e. VIMS website pages, annual tagging training workshops, posters, annual reports and presentations (angling clubs, civic groups and scientific meetings). Tag and program equipment orders including the construction of fish measuring boards are handled by VIMS. VIMS also periodically conducts tag retention field trials to evaluate whether changes might be warranted regarding the type of tag used for a specific species. Depending on the size range of fish, certain tags are more appropriate for small fish specimens (like the 2.5 in T-bar tag) versus large fish (plastic and stainless steel dart tags). For target species larger than 26-28 inches total length, the program recommends using a 6.25 in. stainless steel dart tag with wire core sheath. Since 2008, select taggers have been testing dogleg dart tags (DD tags) and wide-anchor dart tags (DW tags) for improved retention in speckled trout and red drum. Tag retention studies continued in 2018 for these plastic dart tags to examine patterns of times at large (versus T-bar tags). Recapture rates and times at large are monitored to determine if distinctive patterns result from the DD and DW tags.

2018 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Tagging Effort and Recaptured Fish Results

Through 2018, the program’s database included 320,617 tag records and approximately 33,693 recapture records (Table 6). (*Note: VGFTP data referenced here include summaries of fish tagged and recaptured in terms of the number of fish recaptured (Table 5) and the cumulative number of recaptures, including mul-tiple recaptures of the same fish (Table 6).)

During 2018, 89 trained anglers tagged fish. In February, “Top Tagger” awards were presented in Hampton at Bass Pro Shops’ Spring Fishing Classic seminar series. The Tagging Program is fortunate to have a con-sistent group of anglers dedicating volunteer effort into tagging considerable numbers of fish that result in useful recapture data. The 2018 top taggers were responsible for the majority of tagged and recaptured fish data last year. The good-natured competition for the annual awards encourages taggers to work at becoming more consistent in their tagging. By doing so, they have a chance at making the list of annual award winners for any given year. Trained anglers’ tagging accomplishments appear in Tables 1-3 by number of tagged fish. Sixty-three an-glers tagged 25 or more fish during 2018; this accounted for about 99 percent of all fishes tagged in the year. This participation level is similar to 2017. These anglers’ consistent efforts produce the majority of data on local and regional habitat use and movement patterns of target species. Top ranking anglers by total recaptures during 2018 appear in Table 4. The majority (92%) of recaptures reported during the year were accounted for by the 28 taggers listed. As expected, anglers tagging the most fish often have the highest number of recaptures per year. Higher numbers of recaptures are associ-ated with a number of variables including fishing (and tagging) frequently, organizing one’s tags and data sheets to enhance tagging efficiency, and tagging at locations which hold individual fish for significant peri-ods and which are fished frequently by other anglers.

The range of fishing/tagging areas covered by VGFTP taggers is important to keeping the program data rel-evant to target species dynamics including year-to-year abundance, habitat use and seasonal migration patterns. However, also important are a smaller number of taggers who routinely push themselves to even higher tagging goals (200-900+ fish per year). The teamwork and cumulative data resulting from tag-gers at each tagging effort level keep the program responsive to changes in Virginia’s recreational fishery. Multiple recaptures of individual fish often occur at fishing piers or other sites that hold fish for extended periods (this is often the case with black sea bass, flounder, etc.). Multiple recaptures of black sea bass at fishing piers demonstrate that careful handling of undersized fish results in reasonable survival rates of the fish. Another positive result of successful releases is such fish often contribute in the future to another good day of fishing. However, especially at fishing piers, the practice also contributes to the referenced problem of some inaccurate reporting of tagged fish recaptures. Further, demand for recapture rewards at these sites can be challenging during certain periods of time and provide pressure in terms of maintain-ing stock and ensuring that the reported data are accurate. Sometimes, anglers requesting multiple re-wards may need to be given a limited option of rewards in fairness to all program participants and to en-sure consistent reward stock.

2018 Species Results

Black Drum:

In 2018, 113 black drum were tagged, of which 70% (n=79) were adult fish (>16 inches TL). As in previous years, 2018 drum recaptures were low (n=2). The recapture rate in 2018 was approximately 1.8%. From 1995-2018, more than 4,373 black drum were tagged and 230 re-captures were reported (Tbls. 5, 6), for an overall recapture rate of 5.3%. The most popular tagging site in 2018 was the Lynnhaven River (n=15); this site made up 13.3% of tagging effort (Tbl. 7). This differs from 1995-2015, where the peak tagging site was Inner Middle Ground Shoal (13% of effort). Black drum recaptures were reported at Avon, North Carolina surf (n=1, Tbl. 8) and the York River Amoco Dock (n=1). Historically, the York River Hot Ditch was the top recapture site (20% of recaptures, 1995-2015). Tagged black drum ranged from 6-49 inches TL with a peak tagging effort at 28 inches TL (n=8 tags/size) (Fig. 1). Days at large for black drum ranged from 0 to 10 days for recaptures (Note: recapture data in this report for days at large include recaptures of fish tagged in previous years).

Black Sea Bass:

In 2018, 1,467 black sea bass tags were reported. To better manage program resources, a minimum tagging size limit of 6.5 inches was implemented in 2010. Even with this size limit in place, black sea bass continued to have a high spe-cies recapture rate in 2018 at 28.2% (Tbl. 6).

Black sea bass long-term results (1997-2018) show more than 40,502 fish tags and 10,136 recapture rec-ords (overall recapture rate = 25%, Tbls. 5, 6). The top tagging site in 2018 was Fort Monroe Area/Pier which made up 70% of the tagging effort (Tbl. 9). Fort Monroe was also at the top of the list for tagging of black sea bass from 1997-2015. For recaptures, 86.4% took place at Fort Monroe (Tbl. 10), and Fort Mon-roe has been the top recapture site in the past (1997-2015). Tagged black sea bass ranged in size from 6-21.5 inches TL, with 6.5 inch fish at the peak (n=964) (Fig. 2). These results are similar to the overall pro-gram pattern seen from 1997-2015, when peak effort also occurred at 6 inches TL (n=6,953 tags). Recap-ture data for days at large ranged from 0 to 608 days and included fish that were tagged in 2017 and 2018. The highest number of recaptures came from black sea bass that were tagged in 2018 (n=410).

Cobia:

In 2018, 806 cobia tags were reported, of which 97% were adult fish (>24 inches TL). The recapture rate for cobia was 15.5%. The total number of cobia tags from 1995-2018 was 4,796, with 586 recaptures and an 12.2% recapture rate (Tbl. 6). The most popular tag-ging location in 2018 was the York Spit (94 tags, 11.7% of effort, Tbl. 11). From 1995-2015, the top tagging site was the Baltimore Channel Buoy Line (16% of historical effort). In 2018, recaptures were highest at the York Spit with 12 recaptures (Tbl. 12). Tagged cobia ranged in size from 8.5-61 inches TL, with 39 inch-es (n=60) being the peak length (Fig. 3). This is close to tagging size frequencies from 1995-2015, where peak effort occurred at 34 inches TL (n=148). Cobia recapture data for days at large ranged from 1 to 2,473 days and included fish that were tagged in 2011 through 2018. The highest number of recaptures came from cobia that were tagged in 2018 (n=51).

Flounder:

In 2018, approximately 2,190 flounder tags were reported and 280 were recap-tured (Tbl. 5). From 2000-2018, 80,935 tags and 8,770 recaptures have been reported for flounder (Tbl. 6), with an overall recapture rate of 10.84%. In 2018, the top tagging site was Fort Monroe Area/Pier (24.8% of effort,Tbl. 13), and the top recapture site was the Fort Monroe Area/Pier making up 46.8% of re-captures (Tbl. 14). Historically, the Gloucester Point Fishing Pier was the top tagging (15% of effort) and recapture location (n=1,537 recaptures) for summer flounder from 2000-2015. In 2018, tagged flounder varied in size from 8.5-20.75 inches TL, with the peak size for tagging at 12 inches TL (n=792) (Fig. 4). This peak could be a reflection of the 12 inch minimum tagging size guidelines put in place in 2010. Days at large for flounder recaptures ranged from 0 to 1001 days (including fish tagged 2015, 2017, 2018), with the most recaptures from fish tagged in 2018 (n=271).

Tautog:

Through 2018, tagging effort on tautog has resulted in more than 20,721 tags (Tbl. 6). From this effort, there have been 3,221 recaptures (Tbl. 6) with an overall recapture rate of 15.5%. In 2018 alone, there were 539 tags and 95 recaptures. The top tagging site in 2018 was an Unidentified Wreck, off VA Beach (11.4% of tags, Tbl. 22) and the top recapture site in 2018 was also an Unidentified Wreck, off VA Beach (37.9% of recaptures, Tbl. 23). This differed from 1995-2015, when the Cape Henry Wreck was the top tagging and recapture site. In 2018, tagged tautog ranged in size from 8.75-27.5 inches TL, with the peak at 13 inches (n=70 tags) (Fig. 9). Peak effort from 1995-2010 also took place at a similar size class (13 inches, n=2,043 tags). Tautog recapture data for days at large ranged from 1 to 1,844 days (including fish tagged in 2013-2018). The highest number of recaptures came from fish tagged in 2018 (n=59)

(Gray) Triggerfish:

During 2018 there were 53 gray triggerfish tags, and 4 recaptures (Tbls. 5, 6). There were 1,630 triggerfish tags and 365 recaptures from 2001-2018 (Tbl. 6). Triggerfish had a high historical recapture rate of 22.4%. The top tagging loca-tion in 2018 was the North Channel NC Buoys (34% of effort, Tbl. 24). In previ-ous years (2001-2010), False Cape was the top tagging site, (19% of effort). The highest number of recaptures were equally among the Anglo-African Wreck, CBBT 4th island, an Unidenti-fied Wreck, Off VA Beach; an Unknown Wreck off VA Beach, Inshore (n=1/each, Tbl. 25). Tagged triggerfish ranged in size from 8-17.75 inches TL, with the peak effort at 13 and 14 inches (n=33) (Fig. 10). Peak effort from 2001-2015 also took place at the 13 inch TL size class (n=133 tags). Days at large ranged from 0 to 358 days, with three recaptures from fish tagged in 2018 and one from 2017.

CONCLUSION

In 2018, the Tagging Program had a 27% decrease in the overall tagging effort (n=17,667 tags) and a 11.2% decrease in recaptures (n=1,127) from the previous year (Table 6). Species with an increase in tagging in-cluded cobia (n=806 tags, 125 recaptures); flounder (n=2,190 tags, 280 recaptures) and tautog (n=539 tags, 95 recaptures) (Table 6). Species that had lower tagging numbers in 2018 included black drum (n=113 tags, 2 recaptures); black sea bass (n=1,467 tags, 413 recaptures), red drum (n=368 tags, n=15 recaptures), sheeps-head (n=10 tags, 1 recapture); spadefish (n=269 tags, 35 recaptures); speckled trout (n=11,852, 158 recap-tures) and triggerfish (n=53 tags, 4 recaptures; Table 6).

In conclusion, 2018 saw a decrease in tagging and speckled trout led again as the top tagged species, making up 67.1% of tagging effort in 2018. These data provided fish movement and site-fidelity patterns of fish cap-tured and released in Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coastal waters. VGFTP data have also provided an im-portant source of information for marine fisheries management. In the past 23 years, more than 500 taggers have been trained and participated in the program and fishing effort has been documented at over 900 loca-tions in Virginia waters.

Figure data in this report are accurate as of April 16, 2019. Future analysis of long-term trends in the VGFTP data will continue with the most recent results available online: http://www.vims.edu/vgftp/ . This report is considered a “living” document with updated versions posted at the website above.

Table 5. VGFTP Tagged and Recaptured Fish by Species and Year (2008-2018)

This report accounts for double tagging and counts the number of fish that were tagged and not the number of tags. Double tag info is valid for 2008 and af-ter. For recaptures, this report counts the number of fish recaptured and does not count multiple recaptures of the same fish. The first column under each species is the number of recaptured fish and the second column is the number of tagged fish.

*This table also includes 190 cobia and 199 spadefish that were tagged as part of a special cooperative study with the Virginia Tech Virginia Seafood Agricul-ture Research and Extension Center in 2012.

Table 6. VGFTP Total Number of Tags and Overall Recapture Rates (1995-2018).

For recaptures, this table counts the total number of recaptures, including recaptures of the same fish. The first column under each species is the number of recaptured fish and the sec-ond column is the number of tags. These counts have been quality-controlled and any quarantined records have been removed from the final tag and recapture counts. *This table also includes 190 cobia and 199 spadefish that were tagged as part of a special cooperative study with the Virginia Tech Virginia Seafood Agriculture Research and Extension Center in 2012.

1. Multiple recaptures are distinguished in bold for individual fish by the records having IDENTICAL Tag

Numbers and Tag Dates.

2. Multiple recaptures are listed in sequential order, with the most recent recapture listed last on the Tag

Number column. Multiple recaptures often document the location of the fish over two different or dis-

tinct times. However, two (or more) recaptures of the same tagged fish can occur on the same day and

even the same location. These types of events document good tagging and release survival rates for the

species.

3. Multiple recapture data provide especially valuable information. This information can only be recorded

when anglers write down and report the tag number as soon as possible, then release the fish with the tag

still in place.
