  • Description:
    The 45th Annual Texas International Fishing Tournament was held August 3-7, 1983 at South Padre Island, Texas and attracted 446 adult (17 years or older) fishermen. This included 358 anglers in the offshore division and 88 in the bay division. Tournament participants were sent a mail questionnaire one week after the tournament, and if necessary, there was a second mailing and phone call. Sixty-one percent of fishermen in the bay division and 46 percent of fishermen in the offshore division responded, resulting in a total response of 49 percent. Telephone interviews were conducted with a sample of 32 non-respondents. Results were used to correct survey findings for non-response bias.
