Don't forget to register with the Feds.....
I just registered, it was rather painless. It only takes about 5 minutes.
I did it online. They give you a temporary card to print out that you have to keep (or just write down your registration #) until they mail you your waterproof one (they say within 30 days). I also wrote the # on the bottom of my Fishing License in case I loose my card.
Go to www.countmyfish.noaa.gov if'n you wanna do it.
Happy New Year y'all.
Jim

I was going to hold off registering as long as possible because I don't want the Feds to have info on me. However, now that I thought about it, they already have files so thick on everyone it doesn't really matter. I guess I'll go ahead and register, reluctantly. Bob

Thanks Jim. Although I am a Charter Captain and already report fish caught on charter trips, all my trips aren't charters so therefore I need to report my recreational fish too, I guess.

Against all my misgivings about the Big-Brotherization of America.......does the book 1984 come to mind?.......I've also registered......under protest.
Capt. Wayne......good to see you here on this board.

Do you have to wait until you buy your fishing liscense; or can you register before? 5th (Marty)

I must admit that I have mixed feelings on this.
On the one hand it should produce more truthful data to manage fisheries with.
On the other hand it is a set up for lotteries and catch shares for recreational fishermen. The catch shares part would mean, the rich will fish and the average guy will play golf.

Agreed. I am not sure how to fully take this. I understand the need for the collection of better data. However I fear catch shares and believe it will greatly weaken recreational fishing politically and economically as it may deter many from participating if they make only a couple of trips a year.

But won't it be better than the data being collected by MRFSS?
