I am not an expert but what I have witnessed in terms of charter
boats is that most of these anglers are on vacation. It seems most
are out for entertainment, not to fill freezers. Not to mention most
charters are not single clients so the charter's take is still multiple fish.
The notion that charters will loose clients when the laws change is a
weak one. If it were all about putting fish on the table.....the
most economical way to do so... is to go to the fish market.
Through the eyes of the client and the economics of paying 600
dollars for a charter....the difference between taking one fish instead
of two is sort of silly. The charter is about the fishing experience,
not meat.
The real issue is possibly seated in the use of the client head count
to boat fish for sale. If limits are one....that is a lot of income lost.
