You know ol' SSIRed is gettin in on this:
I have a hard time, and I mean a REALLY hard time, coming to terms with the fact that if you take an average seabass of 2.5lbs divided by the quota(409,000lbs) that over 106,000 fish were either reported or counted. I have never been solicited for my report nor has anybody I know of. You realize at 5 per person or we'll call it 12lbs/p/p and a high average of 4ppl on a boat so 50lbs/boat that we could collect that much info with so little presence by those claiming we have reached said quota. Okay so if you followed me that means they solicited roughly 8,180 boats for their research.........in three months????? WOW thats gathering trip reports from almost 91 boats a day!!!!!!
......and thats assuming ALL 93 days were/are fishable
