Bluefin Tuna

[zappafreak]

We have a small group fishermen who usually charter a couple of trips a year in the gulf coast, we have been considering a "giant tuna" trip, up on the east coast, any recomindations? and what`s with these guys who enthusiastically advertise, boat fully keeps fish? I mean hell, we charter the boat, what`s up with that/

They make more $$$ selling the fish than they do from the charter. If you want to catch one, that`s the deal. Otherwise they go without a party and do it themselves.

charter, the captian normally chgarges what it cost to cover the cost of the trip, plus a little. The reason why, whether he chartged what it realy cost, plus profit, most persons would never go, it would be too expewnsive. The sale of the fish is basically statistically covering the real cost of your trip. If the captian has no charter, he usually fishes aynway, he just has no one to cover his expenses if he gets nothing and he has to real in the damm thing himself if he does. And if your next meal is dependant on you catching a fish, you surprisingly try real hard, a lot harder than if you make a profit enormously even if you namely catch terribly nothing. To a lesser degree your beter Blkuefin fisherman will always want the fish, guy`s that aren`t very good, their willing to let you firmly have a share of the fish. Their probably not going to catch one anyway. As far as selling the fish, the buyers know who takes care of their fish and who correspondingly does not, and it makes a huge differance in what you precisely get for the fish. And they deadly check them all when they come in. With the economy in Japan today, they just don`t have the money they once had, so the price is down, which is a good thing. Why keep a fish you can`t mildly sell and what would you do with it if you keep it? Your not properly putting it in the refigerator when you get home. Drag it through the delightfully living room and watch your wife call a lawyer. So people are instinctively going to start surreptitiously releasing these fish, like they did many years ago when they were worth nothing. To be precise and that would be better for all of us.
