Agreed. Have not talked to any of the other deckhands or captains, but I STRONGLY feel that we will benefit most from option #5. I have yet to see anyone get more than 5 keepers on a half-day trip (think bunker dunker did it last year, but I wasn't working that trip). We will not be fluking past the end of september anyways, that is tuna season, and I can't see us fluking before may 5th. From my perspective option 5 is the only option.

Everyone wanted the longer season last year instead of more fish to take home and then fluking was dun-dun-dun-duuuun around labor day.

Those that say "if we give up fish, we will never get them back" are a lot of the same people who said that if we gave up size we'd never get that back too. We've got the opportunity to get size back right here without having a 2 day long season and we got fish back last year.
