Thank You for the responce and I will read some of that material. I have reported every fish to date and plan to continue to do so. I started this thread to get the topic started for those who don't know or think that reporting is a bad thing. The commerical interests are not going to give up without a fight and we are the only ones that can take it to them. Every angler that wants this fishery to continue needs to get involved and pay attention. Don't think that some else is going to do it WE ARE IT!
This morning when I was reporting Fridays catch I asked the HMS person if they wanted to come to a meeting and speak. Ron had allready beat me to it. He said they were busy but they maybe able to make it eventually. I pointed out that between this fourm and the SESC there was an oppertunity to educate the swordfishing community.
I understand that 25 metric tons of our quota was allocated to Canada in 2003. We will lose it if we don't clame it.
