When I see the words ask and estimate it can only mean it will not be accurate. My .o2 cents

[PALMERS TACKLE]

Innacuracy here is the key eliment in their plan again. These people have no idea how to measure the fishery and at best are guessing. I believe they are part of an agenda designed with the tree huggers and overcontrolling commercial fishing lobby to take the rights of rec fisherman away. Follow the money here folks. The government owns the loans on the big corporate boats..so they have a vested interest in the outcome.
For the most part they have already achieved their goals.
Any tackle shop that willingly contributes to this survey is only contributing to their own demise. Less fisherman on the water equals less sales in the shop to keep the lights on. Stupid if you ask me..
I think a campaign of disinformation is in order..whenever i am asked(rarely) how the fishing was by someone i don't know or a survey i say nothing yet or ah it was a slow day..never give them the bullets to load their gun.
