I understand it's 100% legal and great advertising but does it hurt more then it helps? Have noticed a lot of the charters on here have scaled back the reports a bit and the photos of piles of fish are gone. Maybee I am being paranoid lol but just food for thought!!

When i started my charter boat business I was guilty of posting pictures of dead fish on the dock.Action pictures are always the best.Release pictures are even better.We as charter boat captains should not have to prove our catch with pictures.What picture could be better than a youngster fighting a big bass with a grin from ear to ear?The internet is a doubled edged sword when it comes to posting pictures.Just think about it,salt water magazines only publish action photos.It is high time we all change our ways!
