300 Pound slob last night 7/23 report

LHPfish · 07-24-2004, 06:36 PM

I noticed that 40% of you guys dont report your fish. Either you dont have a permit or you think the reporting is bullsht. It may be pointless, but if you keep posting pictures and stories there may be someone with a badge waiting for you after the trip. :shock:

bullfighter · 07-24-2004, 09:26 PM

we always report, did you get a 300lbs sword?

AkaUrDad · 07-24-2004, 10:58 PM

I've never and will never tell a sole, when and where I catch my swords. Sorry :twisted:

FinalPoint · 07-24-2004, 11:05 PM

It's not about telling your rival captain about where you catch your beasts, it's about keeping this fishery. Scientists do serve a purpose. Look way back in the forum to what John Peel said. If we don't report, this fishery may be gone, so why not do everything we can to make sure it lasts? You don't have to let anybody know where you caught your swords (as long as they are in legal waters -Chum knows more about that weird line).

Captain Joe McGivern · 07-25-2004, 12:59 AM

when i grow up and actually start catching sword i will be happy top tell everyone....

alos i report everything,i catch many more than i talk about on here....

Quite a few of those pictures you see and think the fish haven't been reported, then you are not a member of the S.E Swordfishing club, or you weren't at the last meeting. The club ran a 6 month tourney and all you had to due was call in and report the fish to the club and they submitted all the data about a week or a week an a half ago.

Chum, when I grow up can I go out and catch fish with U. PLEASE.

Yes we report all our fish!

I'm sure you report them to noaa, but from someone that seems to take pride in being an sesc member, I see no reports from you on the website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "team tiara" isn't listed once.

Captain Joe McGivern · 07-25-2004, 09:31 AM

nope there are no listing of team tiara in the member reports. the owner reports them all,and he is not a member.slasher is a member,but doesnt fish too often due to a back injury.

Darkside · 07-25-2004, 10:28 AM

I have spoke about this at a couple of meetings but here goes again. Alot of people feel like if they report it will somehow help letting the longliners back fishing of our coast. WRONG. Some don't know they need a permit. The reasons for reporting are not just for scientific purposes but also to see how much the rec sector is catching. With the US not filling its quota it forfits tons of fish. Other country's bartor to get us to give them the extra tons so the US will not loss those pounds for the next year. Well if the rec. sector would get of their asses and start to do things the correct way and prove to the people in Washington that we a not going away and want to help the fishery things might change. For the people that don't thing report is important look at this way every fish that you catch and do not report that is x amount of pounds that does not get added to our quota and who do you think will get it down the road, foreign longliners. If we as the rec. group can make enough noise they will have to listen but a group that reports 100 fish or so ayear is just adrop in the bucket and meaningless. Hopefully people start to see the bigger picture and realize if we want to be heard as a group we need to speak as a group, not meaning join our club but if every rec. boat with a permit reported their catches they we see big increase and almost be forced to allocate some of the US qouta towards the rec. sector. As small a number that might be it would be one less fish a foreign longliner would be able to bartor the US in giving to them.

Thanks for clarifying that. Scott's usually the one to post on the forums about catches so I assumed that he was fishing those nights and would be able to put the results up on the reporting page.

AkaUrDad · 07-25-2004, 01:58 PM

I respect all of your opinions, and agree with most of them. But when someone posts a message and threatens us with a badge, It gets me a bit Pissed and rebelious.

Litetackleredneck · 07-25-2004, 04:16 PM

What you said was pretty cocky, i know i've said my far share share of cocky stuff, but thats over.
I dont care who knows were i fish, you want my numbers, i'll tell you, i dont give a damn. These fish have tails they swim around, just because they were there once doesnt garrenty they'll be there again.

You assumed correctly, I post the stories from the nights I fish with team Tiara, or any of the other people I normally fish with. The people I fish with all take the responsibility of reporting what was caught on their boat. You will never see me post a report about a night I didn't fish. I want to clarify that!!! If I wrote/post it I was there. If I reply to someone else's post then I probably wasn't with them unless they beat me to the computer and posted it first :twisted:. So no I don't report the catches on the S.E. Sword Club's Web Site.

AkaUrDad:
LHPfish was simply saying that you can get in trouble if you do not follow proper procedure. I know him and he doesn't care if you get in trouble but he's trying help people and swords out by letting you know that reporting is a damn good system and if you don't follow procedure when dealing with swords, there can be consequences.

LHPfish · 07-25-2004, 09:21 PM

AkaUrDad, I wasn't threating anyone with a badge. After seeing the poll on the site that almost 1/2 of us dont report it angered me a bit. No hard feelings, but I don't want anyone to get in trouble for not making the phone call.
