ROFFS™ Will Put YOU on the Fish Again and Again…
Time and fuel costs are always important considerations when trying to locate and catch fish. Before you leave the dock ROFFS™ will show you where the fish concentrations are located by sending you the most comprehensive oceanographic analysis for fishing available today. You will travel directly to the concentrations of fish faster and because you will reduce your search time, you will be saving fuel and money. You will catch more fish per hour and more fish per gallon of fuel. The locally focused fishing forecast analyses are accomplished by ROFFS™ expert fisheries oceanographers who evaluate the local and regional oceanographic conditions using their knowledge and experience on fish migration, feeding behavior, and catchability (availability and vulnerability). The analyses are genuine science-based decision making tools that show you where your best chances occur for catching fish. Day after day, season after season, and year after year our clients tell us that ROFFS™ provides the roadmaps to the fish that are critical to their catch successes.
WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE MAKERS YOU WANT ON YOUR FISHING TEAM
ROFFS™ is a field proven and time tested service in providing fishing forecasting analyses. Five IGFA world records, two United States records, one Bahamas record, one Gulf of Mexico record and 27 state records have been set by our clients when using our analyses (please click here to view records online). If winning tournaments is any indication of how accurate and reliable we are, then the results that our clients have achieved clearly show that our analyses make a difference. During the 2016 fishing season, our clients won 519 different final categories in just 114 major tournaments (reported to us) while using our analyses for that event. Over the last 26 years the total numbers of reported winners tallies at 7912 (please click here to view 2016 ROFFS™ winners). You do not have to fish tournaments to use ROFFS™. Our clients still tell us that they fish our ROFFS™ Hot Spot selections and catch fish 85% of the time with plenty more fish when the conditions are particularly good.

Workshop Announcement: Characterizing Changing Ocean Conditions Affecting Resilience of Coastal Communities, Land and Ocean Use
MARACOOS, working with MARCO and partners, will convene a workshop to advance our understanding of the impacts of changing ocean conditions on fisheries ecology in the region. It will be held April 4-5 at Rutgers. Participation in the workshop will be drawn from expertise within MARACOOS and MARCO as well as strategic invitations to federal and industry partners currently engaged in activities linking ecology with living resource management. The goals of the workshop are to:
- Identify regional data sources and assets within MARACOOS and MARCO relevant to ecological observation and modeling.
- Identify gaps that need to be filled in order to more efficiently develop comprehensive tools that support ecologically informed management.
- Inventory existing efforts in the state, Mid-Atlantic Region, federal and private sectors that explore how changing ocean conditions (physical oceanography) may reflect ecosystem shifts that are impacting fisheries and living marine resource of cross-regional importance.
- Develop an initial strategy to improve communication among these efforts so that planning tools better characterize the structure of the ocean to help drive better policy, and fish community level analysis (both hind- and forecasting).
