3,503 available boat fishing weeks. A total of 348,976 pelagic and demersal
fish were caught in 46,921.5 hours of effort. Species catch and catch per
boat hour (CPH) are presented annually, monthly, and geographically. Data are
compared with similar results obtained in a 1982 pilot survey. The
charterboat survey provided timely CPH data.

In 1984 and 1985, surveys of southeastern U.S. waters, including the
Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. caribbean Sea, were conducted to gather catch and
effort records from charterboat captains located along coastal areas.
Captains were contracted to supply daily records of fishing activity. During
the 2 year period, 10,380 fishing trips, 48,231 hours of fishing effort were
expended and 342,258 fishes were caught. Species, catches, and catch per boat
fishing hour are presented by year, month, and area. Major species groups
caught by trolling included mackerels and tunas, while other than trolling
methods caught mostly snappers, groupers, and croakers. Annual response rates
for returning log forms for the 1984 and 1985 surveys were 98.8 and 95.7
percent, respectively.

This survey was designed to determine the efficiency of contracting with
selected charterboat captains to provide catch and effort data. Data included
date, zones fished, method of fishing, hours fished, and numbers of each
species caught.

A pilot survey to study the feasibility of using catch records from
charterboats for obtaining daily catch and effort data was initiated on 28
March 1982. Nine charterboat captains produced records for 39,410 marine
fishes caught in 4,392 trolling hours and in 919.5 hours using other fishing
techniques. Captains were contracted to supply daily records of fishing
zones, fishing methods, and all species in their respective catches. Response
rate (i.e., weekly submission of logs) was 90.4 percent for all boat fishing
weeks between 28 March and 31 December 1982. The potential use of this type
of recreational data is discussed.
