New Moon Press emerged from the bitter Gulf Coast redfish fights of the 1980s and early 1990s. As powerful sportsmen sought to monopolize this prized renewable resource, they began to “educate” the general public. Louisiana commercial fisherman Robert Fritchey wrote “Wetland Riders” as an alternative to the anglers’ self-serving propaganda, and he founded New Moon Press to publish and distribute his book to interested readers. “Wetland Riders” plainly makes the case that sharing the redfish and other renewable fishery resources with the general public is in the best interest of both the public and the resources themselves. Presently, when few others are able, New Moon Press continues to illuminate the timely and contentious issue of “Fishing: Sport versus Commercial, Fun versus Food.”
