In this section we want to know about your preferences for different types ofsaltwater fishing trips in Oregon. Please use the definitions below when answeringC1-C4.

10

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 to beused in the future as well as today.

Private Boat cost: If you would use a private boat for the trip, the fishing cost 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 and

bait. Please treat all charter trips as being taken on the same type of boat and having the same amenities, regardless of the cost.

• Transportation cost: The round trip cost associated with traveling to and from thelocation. 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 listed fishing 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 the listedfishing 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).

• Trip Location: Assume you would board the boat at the location you usually use(your answers on page 5).
