Another Charter Captain's Perspective
So what if they take home all the fish and give some away to neighbors, friends and those at work who are always asking for fish. The way I see it most charters, especially if a family does this once a year. Lets see that is 12-16 fish once a year. Now, Mr. private boater goes out with a few friends for 6 months and often (not always) brings in a few fish for the grill. These few fish with different anglers is far greater in numbers than the family chartering once. I do agree and also encourage, if you are not going to eat it, don't kill it. Sometimes photos like this give the impression charter boats are out to kill every last fish and it upsets me. Without proepr management we will not have a fishery and I want to see our kids and grandchildren enjoy it also. I hate to see people jump to conclusions over photos of people holding fish.
