Steinhatchee sheep hunt 3/14

Odd to see me posting offshore teports here from my own boat[emoji23][emoji23] Since I have not been out on the big pond in 2024 and some of my coworkers felt I have been stressed, I decided to take a day off and go to the hatch with a few buddies for the day. We caught a few sheeps last year and re...

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

I am not done digging into the data so I havent let it go :-D

I had to get SAS for work to run the code but I'm curious what the numbers come out to with a data set I've edited to make it more real world.

Re: Keaton ramp???

According to Facebook no, they are getting the quotes to replace it but it has not been done, it almost sounds like the county is trying to make everyone go elsewhere between the dock and the bathroom situation.

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

And speaking of more NOAA data https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240222/9969885b3ff7fdfe2b2b425691c6b266.jpg Take a look at this, they estimate that more fish were caught inland by shore fishermen (8910) than caught within 10 miles of the coast (5983) by charter boats. They figure that 411 were cau...

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

Well I left my laptop and only had my tablet during the meeting, so no stats have been ran and it'll be Friday before I get back.

I have zero issues doing a report to send to the FWC but I have no idea who to send it to.

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

So following up, the reason the average length of gags is 160mm is because they count the releases as 0 so that reduces the total length. And it's total length in the data, so adjusting the data to actual catches and averaging the length to per fish instead of total length the data shows an average...

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

My curiosity is well beyond peaked. Who is collecting the data from recreational anglers? Are there Fed. scientists roaming the waters? Are they collecting data from the USCG? I hear of FWC regularly inspecting anglers, but USCG? Not often enough to produce any data. If the average length of Gags i...

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

I hope you don’t find that level of boredom.. but await such findings as a fruit of boredom labor. I had time during my teams meeting today to kill, they do not take weather into account, I honestly have no idea where that data is even coming from as they don't split the effort data out by species.

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

At this point the information isn’t worth considering. A volunteer with a clip board taking down subjective fish stories as the gospel is hard to conceive as a reputable source. They take into consideration the part where people who think they know what’s best and give them more bait shop gossip ab...

Or how if you run the model for by catch I'm 99% sure it would be over the quota by April.

Re: So following up on the Gag discussion

My buddy said the "Shore Based" data came from a handful of gags caught from the bridge in Tampa Bay. Once they applied the "Fairy Dust" that became 106,000 pounds caught from shore. Total BS. They only had a single keeper caught from shore, one that's it. Sent from my Pixel 8 P...

So following up on the Gag discussion

When I bought a bay boat, I had high hopes of being able to fish state waters in FL in the winter and catch some shallow gags and not burn 40 gallons of gas to do it. But according to NOAA we majorly exceeded catch limits in 2023 or did we? I will preface this by saying I am not a NOAA data scientis...

It's so bad if what I'm seeing is correct I'm going to need to start a new thread to explain the fairy dust.
