Number of Trips and /or sales in 2013 due to Hurricane Sandy

[Fin Reaper]

AH was a mess well into Fluke season, and among other things there was lots of hostility from the sea streak folks. Didn't really make you want to come down and deal with it

Here is a simple survey with 771 views and only 39 people voted. This why the RFA and all the other groups are not going to be able to HELP US. How very sad it is

Remember when it is shut down how you stood in the back ground.
Thanks for reading

Thanks for doing this Dave. Great reply Richie !!

One thing to keep in mind, though - - 2012 end-of-season fishery was cut short by Sandy. I did not get out at all late last season for Stripers and Tog. Hope the powers that be understand the trends though

Larry As the post stated it is to provide info on the.
( Goal is to provide reality to fight the "flawed" Landing numbers for 2013 copied from the post)
This is more to show how many people did not get out as much as they use to. It is not only about revenue lost in the season but time spent while being fishing.
This Poll does not collect any personal info so why not HELP, Dave be thanks for being there.
Common guys put a Bullet in the box to save the future for our kids and generations to follow.
Fought in Nam now fighting for my water ways, and the future of all of us.

I think part of the issue is although people can view this, they can not complete the poll unless they are registered and have an ID here. Even so we should have way more people who are registered here responding to this poll.

Come on guys.. If you are a registered member here please respond to the poll and if you know any registered members bring this pole the their attention and encourage them to participate.

Thanks.

Usually start fishing in April. Did not have boat in water ready to roll until June due to damage from storm.

Just over 1100 views, just over 50 votes. Boils downs to about 5% participation. That's just about the number of fishermen that showed up in Washington a few years ago. It's kind of hard to win any kind of support with that kind of turnout................PATHETIC

I definitely had a worse season than last year and some of it is due to sandy. Some of the early season fluke spots I hit were very different in the way they felt on the bottom. Also the "holes" we fished last year were much shallower. As for Canal fishing the spots I fish were completely filled in, the ledges that I used to get hung up on were flat that's a noshitter. so the storm did effect my tally in a negative way no doubt! Not to mention the late start because of all the destruction. Good poll!
