Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
Thanks, guys. We are up to 38, which might be slightly above the average, inspite of bad weather.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
Reports in last week's Fisherman did not list a single fifty and the count has gone flat for some reason.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
All good. But watch for details that define a catch -- name, weight, date -- so that I don't count any fish twice. It is unscientific enough as it is without introducing more error.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
Okay, 46 fish so far. Need more identifiable details or some will be counted twice.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
These NS monsters have to be from a local, non-migratory population. I'm counting it anyway. But I'm not counting speared fish.

Re: Fifties Count -- 2009
Wow - the count got quiet. I just got a pic from a friend who caught and released a 52 on June 10 outside Manasquan Inlet on a live bunker. His name is John T. I'd post the pic, but don't think he wants to.
For the record Mr. D. - I agree, spear fish don't count. I didn't know that last one was speared.
