Hey there guys,
I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but I can't resist asking our group, as we've go a lot of deckies and regulars that contribute here.
Would you, or do you have buddie that would be willing to ride on an open-party boat basis.. a boat that had its own rules where the number of fish kept was 0!? Or.. keeping a small number of fish, using a slot system, decided by the captian when catching fish other than the target species?
Why would someone pay money to go fishing and not go home with fish? Here's the reason. If a knowledgable captian took you to some of HIS best honey holes, knowing you weren't going to deplete the stock there, wouldn't the better fishing and quality fish be worth the money and time?
I would be willing to pay the same price for a ride and tip the crew for good service rendered instead of the cleaning fee. The Jackpot would still be OK because it would be strictly decided by a digital scale!
What do you guys think?
