The offshore lifestyle is more than time on the water. It’s a tradition worth protecting.

The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) works with Congress and federal agencies to help ensure today’s anglers — and the generations that follow — can continue accessing healthy, abundant marine fisheries.

From addressing shark depredation and protecting essential fish habitat to expanding access to public waters and advancing innovative technology-based solutions to whale-vessel interactions, CSF is fighting for policies that keep anglers on the water while conserving the resources that make our traditions possible.

Healthy fisheries. Continued access. A legacy worth protecting.

🎙️ New episode of The Marlin Podcast

Chase Offield grew up chasing striped marlin off Southern California, but his family’s impact on billfishing reaches far beyond those waters.

In this episode, Chase talks SoCal fishing, what makes the fishery so unique, and why understanding billfish is key to protecting them. We also dive into the Offield family’s decades of support for billfish research, satellite tagging and conservation around the world.

For Chase, catching these fish is only part of the story. Understanding where they go, how they survive and how we can protect them is just as important.
