Maine to Virginia anglers were surveyed using an add-on to the basic angler interviews from the MRFSS program of NMFS. Revealed preference models provide insights into recreational angler behavior and the economic value of recreational fishing trips. Revealed preference data is typically collected by intercept and/or phone follow up calls or random digit dialing calls to households. Variables include length of the trip (day or overnight), target species, household income, whether or not angler took time off of work, and primary purpose of overall trip, reasons for fishing at the specific location, reasons for fishing, willingness to pay for changes in the striped bass bag limit, and years of fishing experience.
