I agree that the 2 for 1 is a great deal too! But, I'm still not sure why Jason took the 2 for 1 off. First of all, the 2 for 1 was offered during rockfish season (before Jan. 1) last year, so why would the current rockfish season change the policy?
It's not like the fishing is that much better... and who knows if the salmon will even show up this year. Secondly, I've noticed that there are very few people going out on the Stardust these days. As a way to boost business, doesn't it make sense to encourage more people to come out by offering a discount? I mean, if you are getting 10 guys or less out, allow them to bring a buddy for free, and all of a sudden you've got 20 guys onboard. Those 20 guys translate to buying more food/drinks and more tips for the crew than the 10 would!

Obviously, it's a business decision that Jason wanted to make and we can't fault him for that. However, I just think that the 2 for 1 pass really encourages more people to come out on his fine boat. Then when the fishing really rocks this summer and people really come out, then cancel the 2 for 1 policy.

Anyway, just some ideas...
