Reel Sportswear Empowers Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi's Islander Anglers with Hands-on Sales and Marketing Experience CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - Reel Sportswear, a leading provider of high-quality fishing apparel, is proud to announce its ongoing sponsorship of the Islander Anglers, the official fishing club at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC). The partnership aims to support the next generation of anglers, nurture their passion for the sport, and provide unique learning opportunities for the students involved.
For the past two years, Reel Sportswear has worked closely with the Islander Anglers, offering industry insight, mentorship, and guidance to the officers of the organization. Andrew Foster, CEO of Reel Sportswear, believes in the importance of investing in young anglers and supporting their growth in the fishing community.
As part of the sponsorship, Reel Sportswear provides the Islander Anglers with custom-designed shirts at no expense to the club. In turn, club members secure sponsorships for logo placements on the shirts, offering students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in real-time communication, sales, and marketing.
The Islander Anglers, which started as a small group of dedicated fishing enthusiasts, has grown into an influential organization on the TAMU-CC campus. The club is open to all student anglers, both saltwater and freshwater, offering advice and assistance to anyone interested in fishing. Weekly meetings are held on Thursdays at 7 pm, where members plan for upcoming tournaments and share their experiences.
In addition to recreational fishing, the Islander Anglers have the unique opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research. The club partners with the Center for Sportfish Science and Conservation at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies (HRI) to catch, tag, and release various fish species, providing valuable data on their seasonal movements, habitat, and growth.
Since April 2021, the Islander Anglers have tagged 83 fish, including Southern Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Cobia, Atlantic Tarpon, Common Snook, and King Mackerel. Their efforts are contributing to the scientific understanding of these species and helping to inform future conservation strategies.
Andrew Foster, CEO of Reel Sportswear, is proud to be part of this unique partnership and is committed to fostering a positive learning experience for the next generation of anglers, conservationists, and fishing industry professionals. For more information, visit www.reelsportswear.com.
