AMERICAN
SPORTFISHING
ASSOCIATION
Welcome to the 2015 Sportfishing Summit!
On behalf of the board of directors, ASA’s members, partners and staff, we welcome you to St. Pete Beach and
the 2015 Sportfishing Summit, the association’s business meeting and premier networking event.
The Loews Don Cesar Hotel, known as the “Pink Palace,” opened in 1928 when it gained renown as a Gulf Coast
destination during the height of the Jazz Age. Today, it’s a modern hotel located on one of the Gulf’s most
beautiful beaches!
The Sportfishing Summit is the one time each year that the sportfishing community comes together to discuss
our collective future. This annual business meeting underscores our desire to bring together the association’s
members along with others from the sportfishing community to provide a productive meeting that is timely,
useful and a good business investment.
In fact, we encourage you to attend the board of directors and committee meetings in order to gain a better
understanding of how ASA staff and your colleagues work on your behalf. The networking breakfasts, lunches
and the Hospitality Suite also offer informal ways to discuss issues that impact your business.
Information and More Information
As usual, we have a full agenda planned for members and guests.
Monday, October 19 – Today, we have the Keep Florida Fishing Steering Committee meeting and the ASA Board
of Directors meeting. We’re also hosting an informal, outdoor meet and greet on Monday evening – a Party with
a Purpose – to thank current ASA Sportfishing PAC donors and provide some general information about the
PAC. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Tuesday, October 20 – Our members and guests meet for breakfast and then we break out into our committee
meetings. We meet for lunch and then move onto our afternoon general business sessions. The evening is
capped off with a full-on welcome reception for all our attendees and guests.
Wednesday, October 21 – Today, we follow the same pattern as Tuesday. The exception is the Sportfishing
Summit annual dinner and awards presentations on Wednesday evening.
Thursday, October 22 – On the last day of the Summit, the board of directors meets just before our General
Membership meeting. At the conclusion of that meeting, the association’s members adjourn for another year.
We are serving a full breakfast this year and encourage everyone to attend!
We’re glad you are here and welcome to St. Pete Beach!

AGENDA
Current as of September 21, 2015 – The agenda is subject to change.
We’re Talking Branding and Angler Recruitment,
Retention and Reactivation
Nothing has more of an impact on our industry than turning new people into enthusiastic anglers – and keeping
them engaged.
During this year’s Sportfishing Summit, we’re going to take a look at our future, paying particular attention to
three key factors that will keep our industry moving forward: recruiting new anglers, retaining the ones we have
and re-engaging those who need to get back into our sport!

Welcome to the Pink Palace
Opened at the height of the Gatsby Era in 1928, the Loews Don Cesar Hotel has been
welcoming guests for nearly a century. The hotel was designed by Henry H. Dupont. Loews
Don Cesar Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
If you are looking for a place to eat or relax inside
the hotel:
The Maritana Grille is Loews Don Cesar Hotel’s
signature Four Diamond restaurant serving New
American cuisine. Guests are surrounded by 1,500
gallons of salt water aquariums which contain some
indigenous Florida fish, as well as lion fish and hippo
tangs. The Maritana Grille was selected by Epicurean
Rendezvous magazine as one of the “Top 100
Restaurants in Florida.”
In a corner of The Maritana Grille kitchen, separated
from the grill and preparation areas by a window, is a
triangular table known as the Chef’s Table where small
dinner parties can watch their food being prepared by
the executive chef from a unique menu.
The Sea Porch Café is located on the beach and offers
Caribbean and Mediterranean cuisine for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner in a garden-like relaxed setting.
BARS WITH GREAT VIEWS
The Lowes Don Cesar has several bar options aimed to
please a wide variety of tastes.
Sunsets Bar – Featuring handcrafted cocktails and
a tasty tapas menu, this bar offers something for
everyone including magnificent views of the beach
and gulf.

frozen drinks, mojitos and more, served poolside. The
menu features fresh seafood, salads, burgers and
plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
Lobby Bar – Chill out and enjoy this elegant St. Pete
Beach bar overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Newly
renovated, and offering an intimate, chic setting,
the Lobby Bar is in the epicenter of the iconic Pink
Palace. Sip on a seasonal creation “stirred” up by our
mixologist – or maybe you prefer a glass of wine or a
signature cocktail. Whatever you choose, you are sure
to relax and unwind. Live music nightly and a menu of
light bites are an added bonus.
