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
