I and thousands of others pay that to go to Hatteras every year to, if we are lucky, catch and release a big drum. Many pay much more than that to go to the tropics to catch and release bonefish or tarpon. For most of us, it isn't about the fillets and there is really not much better use of valuable vacation time. Maybe your customers have different priorities or maybe it is your economic interests that skew your perceptions of why people fish. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

You imply that my world is not reality. That means that what I and Sea Dangles said is not true. Since it is, I am not sure where that leaves you. |

I think it is more of a learning thing for Striper charters the customers have been able to keep fish in the past so why not now. That said I go bear hunting to New Foundland pay $2300.00 don't get a bear but still a great trip. Go to Maine for moose $5600. No guarantee of a moose but a great trip all around. So a Striper charter for $1200.00 with lots of fish caught but none or one for table sounds great also. It's all in how it's packaged as an experience. I own a $50,000.00 boat to go fishing for 3 tautog,1 Striper, and a few fluke,if it was about the eating of the fish I would say I am nuts. :-).
Just another way of looking at it.

No, I would stay in NJ...book a cheaper charter, save on expenses and get my fillets there. If I was just in it for the fillets. |

If you sell fish, then you are a commercial fisherman. There is no grey area or income percentage requirement.
You either are, or you are not.

Having grown up in Highlands NJ and still fish down there in May and October I would say anyone coming up from NJ willing to pay 1200 plus cost for a striper charter are not concerned about bring home fish. They are coming up for the fun and desire to catch bigger fish. If the were just interested in meat they would stay home and spend the money on a trip to fish the canyons. They would come home with far more fish and much better eating fish. If they want stripers for eating they would be far better to fish for them at home since they have not seen quite the same decrease in numbers as New England has seen, plus they could find a six hour trip for about 600 for six.. When NJ people come up in the winter and spring for cod that is a different story, then they are more interested in meat.

Maybe already mentioned, but think of a state like florida. Tarpon are a no kill fish and that doesn't stop people like myself from visiting and booking fishing charters. Hell, you're not even allowed to take the damned things out of the water! Granted, they have no food value, but people obviously don't care about taking somethin back with them. There is no reason to believe that keeping only one fish per person will harm the striper charter industry. I worked on a charter boat for years, and to be honest the customers would almost always exchange puzzled glances at the dock, wondering who would take the last few fillets home. Killing a bass is every angler's right, but killing your limit because you can is a waste, and I think it's important to educate people on the value of catch and release.
