I could hardly believe my eyes when I read that "Primary Data for July & August on Fluke stocks indicate that the catch was in excess of 3 Million Pounds!!!! Is this some kind of Halloween Joke? Do the powers that be really think we are that stupid?
First: Who the hell had their boat in the water, if they had a boat left after the storm?
The Bay and Ocean up here looked like a dessert! Boats didn't start coming back into the Harbor until August and I can tell you for a fact, we were catching CRAP!!! Did all the Southern guys have a banner year? I doubt it, not to the tune of 3 million pounds....
There were no fish (with the exception of the first week or two) in the back bay, the Reach, Old Orchard, West Bank, all were dead zones this season. Unless Capt. John and the Sea Hawk reported some kick ass numbers, I just don't get it!
3 Million pounds? What's the data going to show for the full season 7-8 millions pounds? Same old BS every year and we will pay once again...I don't know about you but I'm sick and tiered of having someone with their thumb in my ass!! Too many years of this crap is starting to take it's toll.., then again, Maybe that's what they want??
BS. Capt. Ron
