I'm only going to bring this up because it needs to be kept on a front page basis.
Does anyone here trust the recreational catch data compiled by the Fisheries?? Remember, they're using this data to set quota and to "control" the biomass. Many of your opinions on things are based on the understanding or trust that this data is somewhat accurate, but what if it's way way off? What if the Commercial guys catch 90% of the Fluke, would you then trust that the limits being put on us will facilitate any change in the biomass?
Just out of curiosity, how many of you have ever been asked to offer up your daily Fluke catch?
IMHO, this is an extremely important part of the argument.
