CDF&G
Just spent 5 minutes on the phone with them. They wanted to know my fishing habits here. Quick easy survey, how many days for year did I fish California, Ocean or fresh. How many days for Jan and Feb. Even let me comment. For Jan and Feb I told him 18 days ALL in Mexico, surprisingly he knew why!!!!! They hear it from some anglers. ............ . Please take the time for the survey if called, it should at least give them some input. This used to be a GREAT state for outdoorsmen, maybe they do HEAR us. Tight Lines.

I did that survey, but it seems like it's just for numbers and fishing preferences.

I did the survey yesterday. Seemed like a waste of time.

I no longer have enough trust in the CDF&W to share information with them. Like Geno said, the data we gave was used to close down the areas we fished.
This data is so easy to sway against anglers. If many fish are caught then we're over harvesting the resource. If few are no fish are caught its because we have already over harvested the resource. Either way the "logical" response is to close the fishery. When I'm approached by the data collectors at the ramps and landings I politely tell them that I have nothing else to say to them . mike |

I have been surveyed too in the past.
I could not remember all of the trips, so I have been keeping an accurate tally for the next time. They have already closed the Mole to lobster fishing, so I am not worried about what they do with it. |
