Charter Captain for ten years, well over 100 per year - just to base my opinions on.

95% of our customers don't know what the regulations are - number of fish nor length.

95% have no idea the amount of meat on a fish - many a time we fillet the fish, they look at the bags of fillets and say "we don't want all that, can you take some?"

Based on that, when we get 3 or 4 good fish in the box we start asking the questions - how many fish do you want to keep, etc. etc. Most of the time, with a little education, the folks do not take the 2 fish per person limit. If they want to take the 2, that's ok too and there aren't any angry stares - we do have some groups who come on board who we know eat every last piece of meat, you can just tell.

That being said, I support the 1 fish per person proposal.

And 495 of them would say there's no problem, and we don't need catch reductions.
