Do you suspect much of the survey data used to justify unneeded fishery closures is based upon boastful reports on sites like this?
Problem is: If we report <b>catching a limit</b>, that number is added towards reaching the SAFMC species catch limits. If we report catching <b>absolutely nothing</b>, thats used to show the fishery is depleted.
Here’s my PC report for January 20th:
Nicole, Dylan and I went out in Tomfoolery on a calm sea and 60 degree air temp to the Chas 60 area on Thursday. We didnt fish at all. We just motored around dropping squid to feed the poor endangered fish. We did burn a lot of ethanol polluted gas (soon to be 15%) thereby helping support the factory-farm corn ethanol industry, subsidized with $millions$ of our tax dollars, and scientifically denounced by every agency except the politically lobbied EPA and current administration.
