Thanks Tagger. I stick about 20 tags a year myself aand I haven't had a return in several years. I use the ALS spaghetti tags. I confine my tagging to the extremes of the season when the water is cold, and the fish can cope with out of water handling time better. I also tend to tag the larger fish, and only fish that are single hooked, and landed in a place that I can easily handle them (preferably on a big blob of seaweed or a low tide tide pool. And always when I am solo or at least not around Numbskull, who ridicules me awfully when I go through these shannanagans,
