Communicator Award hooked for Cobia Camp

“The results have been good, wholesome content–and now, this acknowledgment from professionals in the business rewarding Gemstone for a quality presentation!” summarized George Birnbaum, our CEO and Founder, on this Communicator Award presented to host Capt. Don Dingman and Gemstone Media for Hook the Future episode “Cobia Camp.”

Hook the Future is a family program Gemstone has edited over the past 10 years, which airs on Sportsman Channel, World Fishing Network, and FanDuel Sports Network Southeast.  

Gemstone Media Senior Editor Chris Linke elaborates on the award-winning episode, “I thought it captured the best of what Hook the Future is about. We saw young kids catching cobia while fighting sharks who wanted the cobia as badly as they did. There was lots of great action, lots of fishing tips from Don, and it spotlighted a Mayport-based summer camp that teaches kids about fishing. The episode featured some nice photography, including drone footage of hungry sharks circling the boat. And they managed to film a shark blasting up through the surface to grab a cobia off a kid’s line—a definite highlight of the episode.”
