While currently running his business out of Stuart, Florida, Captain Cody Rubner's (AKA @captcodyrubner) love for fishing started growing up on Cape Cod. Every spring, he loads up his truck and road-trips north with a River Quiver full of 8/9-weights to get back to his roots, reset and recharge.
"It’s important to remember why we fight to protect our oceans," said Rubner, who is a member of the American Saltwater Guides Association. "I try my best to contribute to fisheries management, but that process is far bigger than any one angler and it’s a stressful, uphill battle. It’s important to take a moment, slow down and soak up the experiences that inspired you to fight in the first place: like being chest deep in an salty estuary."

"I hope we‘ll see this stock continue to rebuild through all the challenges it currently faces. I’m a proud member of the @saltwaterguidesassociation who is leading the charge to conserve our east coast striper fishery."
