I am looking for some additional crew members for trips offshore starting in April. I have a new 36 Yellowfin I recently purchased. Boat will be docked on the Ashley River in North Charleston. Crew members will share in fuel and bait cost as well as help with boat and fish cleaning after the daily trip.
I have all rod, tackle, and safety equipment on the boat. I am just trying to get additional names to add to the crew list this year. PM me if interested.
Scott,
I can fish weekends. June-Dec I can do some weekdays.
You’ve got my number.
Fishery Scorecard
FMP A.16 (Grouper closed)- RFA, FRA opposed; Pew, EDF, CCA supported
FMP A.17B (kitties/warsaws banned & 240’ + snowies and tiles closed)- RFA, FRA opposed; Pew, EDF supported; CCA no position
FMP A.17A (Snapper & 73 species 98’-240’ closed)- RFA, FRA & clubs opposed, said SEDAR 15 was crap; Pew, EDF supported; CCA ?
FMP A.22 (red snapper)- RFA says open immediately reject faulty assessments; Pew, EDF, CCA say keep closed
Catch Shares- RFA, FRA, SKA, CCA, others opposed; Pew, EDF support.
MSA flexibility- RFA & others oppose strict time mandates coupled with low scientific standards for management actions; Pew, EDF, CCA oppose flexibility, dismissing it as “weakening of the law”
MSA implementation- CCA, RFA, FRA, others frustrated with NOAA’s failure to meet mandates and operate properly.
Science funding- RFA, FRA, CCA, others begging for better research and data so that healthy fisheries are not closed down.
Allocations- CCA advocating for reallocation of allowable catch to be more recreational than commercial, which is what the economic data supports
Access- RFA advocating for recreational fisheries not to be shut down with data that’s been shown to be fatally flawed and for recreational area or species complex closures not to consist of fish species that have not been shown to be in trouble with sound science
Lawsuits- RFA, FRA have sued over red snapper, BSB, grouper and area closures. CCA has sued over catch share allocations in gulf. www.joinrfa.com
