Purpose
• To identify the motivations, constraints, facilitators, and demographics influencing resident bass angler fishing participation.
![Page 3: Factors influencing fishing participation by bass anglers residing in New York’s Lake Ontario Region Diane Kuehn Matt Brincka Valerie Luzadis SUNY College](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f305503460f94c4a770/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Theoretical background
• Motivations: the “cognitive forces that drive people to achieve particular goal states” (Decker, Brown, & Siemer, 2001).
• Constraints: elements that intervene between leisure preferences and participation (Crawford and Godbey, 1987; Henderson, Stalnaker, and Taylor, 1988).
• Facilitators: the factors that “enable or promote the formation of leisure preferences and encourage participation” (Raymore, 2002).

participation?”• Scale: -2 (greatly limits) to 0 (neutral) to 2
(greatly enables)

Survey questions
• Participation• Number of trips each year (2005-2009)• Average calculated• Converted to categories:
• 0 = 0 - 2 trips/year• 1 = 2.1 - 5 • 2 = 5.1 – 10• 3 = 10.1 – 20• 4 = 20.1 +

• Two Confirmatory factor analyses (EQS):
• Constraints and facilitators

Management implications
• Bass anglers are very committed to bass fishing – not as dependent on social support as other angler groups.
• Efforts to increase skills, challenge, & interest will likely increase participation.
• Family-based fishing events may also increase participation.
