Just my observation ---

1. They are fishermen and like most fishermen we exaggerate to a degreee. They have a business to run. But the fish counts for that particular boat may be over inflated.

2. Are you sure those count were for that particular boat and date? Or was it for the week.

3. Were you satisified with the crew and captain's efforts in getting you to the fish? Did you have complaints when you came off the boat?

4. I highly doubt that they use nets. Its a major fine if they do.

5. You have freedom of choice. Go to another landing since you were treated harshly.

6. Post your question to the guys at the alcoster.com site. They are more in-tune with the saltwater bite.

Sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction..

Good fishing
