That is exactly why you need more than one source of info. Shocking is very good but often does not give the whole pic. Creel data , RW , visual observations (including underwater video) , seining and traps are all other info sources. It is like trying to know about your house from one inside and one outside pic. A snap shot in time.

If I had to pick one time in the south it would be late Sept.

I like to have my data assembled and give it to the Fisheries Scientist well before the shocking so that it can all be incorporated into the results. I expect to pay for the extra service/work and am glad to get a more comprehensive report.
