RE:
Er... just a couple of points to clarify things
- Fish landed in Madeira are NOT dumped, there is a foundation that ensures they are donated to hospitals, old folks homes and so on. I know of at least one instance where skipper and crew laboured into the early hours to slab out a big fish into manageable size portions
- Almost no fish are deliberately killed by the area charter fleet nowadays - I think the only fish brought in by the charter boats this year were heavily injured or DOA - although to be fair if the right size fish had come up on 4th July it would have been taken
Not saying they are whiter than white. Most boats carry two large flyers just in case the opportunity arises to take the one they are looking for. But the situation as it stands is that the area skippers try to release every fish they catch.
-------------------------
I was wondering what area those CV fish were taken - were they landed at Mindelo or elsewhere - Sao Nicolau, Sal?
