They basically already have a number and a average weight that we catch everyday and its way higher of course on Saturdays. I believe that they do the dock checks and surveys to just go along with it. So really it does not count for weather days at all. Its piss poor at best. The red snapper pie is cut very thin these days and the way they estimate the catch is crazy. They don't even have any idea who or how many people are fishing for red snapper and there is no way they could ever tell me how many fish I caught on the Fairwater, I would like to know really since I'm certified for 18 people but we average fishing around 10. The commercial guys have it going on with there IFQ (Individual fish quota) they count every fish and can fish anytime they want all year until there quota is reached. This type system would not ever work for the true boat owning public but it would work fine on the charter boats. Hate to say it but the only thing I see truly working for the true recreational guys is fish tags. I am very sick and tired of them telling us what we caught in a week where theres a hurricane in the gulf and no one fishes. Things must change.
