accuracy in fishing reports..

[bulletbob]

I didn't want to start a shit storm, just wanted a good, likeable cap to rethink the reports he posts.
Info is too fast and furious these days, and its tough to dance around the edges of reality too much.. There were others that emailed me that were there as well on the day in question and saw the report that didn't line up
They are going elsewhere next trip..

Its just not worth losing customers over, even non regulars....

Gerry , put this one to bed if you'd like.

Years back several of us on a boat were asked to fish another boat as there were not enough to head out. Lo and behold the boat that stayed tied to the dock put out a report that afternoon. I’ve also seen my photo and others I’ve fished with included in a report but wasn’t out that day. It doesn’t deter me if I want to go fishing I’m heading out regardless of the reports

Thanks for posting this. I went out seabass fishing opening day on a popular sponsored boat who posts a lot. I will not name drop as I respect his business and lively hood. Fishing wasn’t good at all, not for lack of effort, however when I read the report he posted he said we limited out. For the 12 guys on the boat we had maybe 40-50 keepers in total. It is what it is, just as a paying customer who sailed with him I don’t get why not just say “south wind shut the bite down” but scratched together a respectable catch. I probably won’t sail with him again, despite me really liking my time on the water talking and enjoying the day on his boat.
