With a joke these creels, cost of fly overs, DFO e-log programs are, DFO staff entering data into computers with their outdated modeling "aka guesstimate" software ...all the Chinook catch data DFO needs is F*&$#@in' right in front of their noses....
- by law every single one of us has to record our Chinook catches and area on our 400,00 or so tidal water licenses
-the only reason we have to do this is so we don't fined or exceed our annual and daily limits and not for any other reason
- where does all the catch data for every single sport Chinook go to....in the F&*#@KIN garbage can when you renew your license or in the garbage can at home
-one would think DFO would use all of this valuable information to give them a accurate count at the coast wide catch.
-make it mandatory to return them to a vendor or mail in your licenses say by Dec 31 (or so )each year.
-Change the licenses to run from Jan 1st to Dec 31st
-Then DFO can use some of the thousands of pencil pushers to count and analyze this data to give an accurate count of whats being caught.
-our licenses are filled out every year with all of our personal data (DL #, birthdate, address, phone # etc) on the opposite side of the Chinook catch data. This is one of the main reasons I have been told that DFO will not use the data due to privacy concerns
-Change the layout of the license so the Chinook data is on a detachable portion on the bottom front(where the ling cod data currently is) so we can simply tear it off and drop it off or mail it in.
-they don't use the Lingcod data either, its just there so we dont exceed our annual and daily limits
-the same can simply be done for Halibut as well....a simple length measurement and area should suffice to clear up issue surrounding what the rec sector takes and from where
-change the law to make it offense to print off more than one e-licence as more and more are finding this loophole too enticing to resist. As it stands now one can print as many as you like.
-making the simple changes to the way our licenses are printed, managed and the catch data recorded would make a huge difference coast wide, and probably save tons of money (just in fuel alone from those ridiculous fly overs)
Just thought I'd throw this out there.....
