So, a lot of good info and interesting discussion here. What if we started, as anglers, to put together a database. There's enough people here willing to wade in with opinions. Would people use it? Or would it just be more data that does nothing to help the fishery?
We could report date and hours fished, number of fisherman, bait used, # fish caught and size of fish in an on-line database. It'd be a neat feature for AO if only for bragging rights. Heck, I'd enjoy just setting this up independently for fun.
I've fished PCR and had a great day on the water. We would have loved to keep one for supper. Too bad about the mercury content. We would have been happy to pay for a tag to do it. As it was, we've made plans to trundle down next year for another great day of catch & release.
