Swimbait, I understand what you are saying and I really enjoy the Stardust and crew. I have been on the Stardust many times but have never really corroborated the fish count with my trip. I do know a friend who recently went on a Stardust twilight trip where many rockfish were reported caught but not one rockfish was observed by my friend during the trip. My friend is a good fisherman and I do trust his observations. I will post on this board next time I see a suspicious fish report on sportfishingreport.com, which by the way is a great website, because you can see what the fish count is for each boat/trip for each landing everyday. By the way, take a look at yesterday's fish count. Do you really think that a thresher shark (a rare party boat catch), was caught on both the morning and afternoon runs yesterday?
