While I don't know how they reached this number I do not find it surprising at all when your looking at all marine recreational fishing. Many of these people are once or twice a year party boaters, charter trips or just throwing a chunk from the beach. Half the party boat charters are businesses taking their employees out for their once or twice a year fishing trips. Last May I stayed at a hotel on the cape and each morning there was 3 buses in the parking lot. Here there was 110 people from western Mass at the hotel down for three days of scup fishing.
