SECTION C: Your Washington Saltwater Fishing Trip Preferences

In this section we want to know about your preferences for different types of saltwaterfishing trips in Washington. Please use the definitions below when answering C1-C4.

10

• Boat boarding area: Either the Inside or Ocean area. If you have fished in thearea, the exact boat boarding location would be the one you have used mostoften (your answer on page 5). Otherwise, assume the exact location within thearea would be the one on the map closest to your residence.

DEFINITIONS for questions C1-C4

• Catch: The total number and weight of each species you would expect to catchper day. The weight is before cleaning or filleting. Note: you may not be able tokeep all of the catch depending on the listed legal daily limit.

• Legal daily limit: The number of fish you are legally allowed to keep per day.

• Fishing cost: Your personal share of the daily fishing cost. The fishing costslisted in the tables vary from trip to trip due to uncertainty about the future pricesof things like boat fuel and charter operations. This will allow your answers tobe used in the future as well as today.

Private Boat cost: If you would use a private boat for the trip, the fishingcost is for bait, ice, tackle, daily moorage or launch fees, and boat fuel. (Do

not use the Private Boat cost unless you own or have regular access to a private boat.)

Charter Boat cost: If you would use a charter boat for the trip, the fishingcost is for all charter fees and tips and includes the use of fishing tackle andbait. Please treat all charter trips as being taken on the same type of boatand having the same amenities, regardless of the cost.

• Transportation cost: The round trip cost associated with traveling to and fromthe location. Depending on how you would travel, this can include vehicle fuel,airfare, car rental, ferry costs, and parking. This cost is in addition to the listedfishing cost.

• Lodging cost: This includes motel and campground fees and should beconsidered if you would take an overnight trip. This cost is in addition to thelisted fishing cost.

• Trips: The number of times you leave your residence and return.

• Days: The total number of days spent fishing. (count partial days as full days)
