Re: ATTENTION ALL FLORIDA DIVERS - FWC is asking us to take this survey.

done, Not sure how the answers to the questions will help them though other than by proving the feds are doing a terrible job.

Re: ATTENTION ALL FLORIDA DIVERS - FWC is asking us to take this survey.

Remember last snapper season at the boat ramps? Where FWC asked you to take a survey about how many snapper you caught and depth/area. Now we find out this year that those answers we gave, determined we caught too many. I felt bad for the guy when I told him I am not prticipating in anything that is not required. Although my tight lipped didn't help anything, I'm glad I didn't and will not in the future.

There are no questions like that in this survey as I recall.

Re: ATTENTION ALL FLORIDA DIVERS - FWC is asking us to take this survey.

After getting burned from their last public survey, I am hesitant to participate. I took this survey without giving any sort of info. I am guessing that their agenda now is to find out what the next most popular targeted fish is and regulate the hell out of it without any solid facts. Good try FWC.

Re: ATTENTION ALL FLORIDA DIVERS - FWC is asking us to take this survey.

Don't act like this survey is "we are just wondering for fun" there is some sort of agenda behind it. Until FWC steps up and admits the snapper population is not threatened and works towards opening some sort of season. Nobody should give them a helping hand. You can't say my reasoning is absurd.

Done!

Informative survey. I did not realize the Fed was actively managing the fishing 3 miles out. I thought all they did was long line a bunch of sharks each year.

Glad to hear they are on the job!

Re: ATTENTION ALL FLORIDA DIVERS - FWC is asking us to take this survey.

Until the registered boaters decrease enough to have the fishing/boating industry get involved and poor $$$ into lobbying this issue is just going to get worse. FL is going to have to tell the Feds to stick it and publicly refuse to enforce federal regulations much like CA did with marijuana or they will continue to overreach and shut out recreational harvest.
