# SPORTFISHING SURVEY LOGBOOK FORM

***(Last updated June 2007)***

This form is required under the terms of your commercial use
authorization. Use at least one form for each charter trip. Fishing
effort, catch and harvest must be apportioned **by each location** **and
by fresh or salt water**. Directions for completing this form are on the
reverse side of this page. Submit form to: Concessions Office, Glacier
Bay National Park & Preserve, P.O. Box 140, Gustavus, AK 99826 or fax
(907) 697-2654 or email to <David_Nemeth@nps.gov> by the 5^th^ of **each
month for the previous month's operation**. Call Fisheries Biologist,
Chad Soiseth at (907) 697-2659 if you have any comments or questions
regarding the survey form or results.

**SURVEY LOGBOOK FORM INSTRUCTIONS**

**Page\_\_ of \_\_ :** Indicate page number and total pages (*i.e*.,
Page 1 of 2) for each charter trip on each sheet. Use as many pages as
needed for each trip.

**Charter business name, vessel name, ADFG no., vessel operator and
number of crew:** Record your charter business name, vessel name, 5
digit ADFG no. (issued by the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission),
name of the vessel operator and number of crew, if any besides captain.
Otherwise record 0.

**Charter starting and ending location:** Record port or site where trip
originates and ends unless same as start location. If same as start
location, then record "same".

**Charter begin and end date and time:** Record date and time at the
start and end of each charter trip. Date is important for tracking
seasonal trends and charter trip length. Time is important for
accurately determining trip length (*i.e*., half day, full day and
multiple day), in verifying fishing effort (*i.e*., rod hours) and in
evaluating seasonal trends.

**Date (mm/dd/yy):** Record the date fished at each location. Please
note that it is important to record fishing effort at each location even
if no fish are caught.

**Fishing location (be specific):** Record each location fished within
the boundaries of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. This is
*critical* for accurately apportioning effort, catch and harvest. If
several marine locations were fished, record effort, catch and harvest
at each location. If a freshwater system or multiple freshwater systems
were fished on a given day, record effort, catch and harvest for each
stream or watershed. Please provide location information by water body
(*e.g*., name of bay, inlet, stream or lake, *etc*.) when available. Use
the nearest landmark (*i.e.,* Ancon, Rush Point, Pt. Carolus, *etc*.)
when water body identity is not available.

**No. people fishing:** Record the number of people fishing at each
location including skipper and crew if applicable. This information will
be used to document the number of charter vessel based Park visitors
participating in this activity annually and to verify rod hours which
are used for calculating catch rates.

**Rod hours for salmonids and bottom fish. Trap hours for shellfish:**
Record the total number of hours of fishing time by species group at
each location. Detailed information on fishing effort is needed to
calculate catch rates for each species (catch per unit effort \[CPUE\]
in number of fish or shellfish caught per rod or trap hour) at each
location. For example, 2 rods trolling for salmon for 4 hours equals 8
rod hours of fishing effort for that species at that location. If one
king salmon was caught, CPUE would be 0.125 salmon/h. Four people
jigging for halibut for 2 hours at the same location would equal 8 rod
hours of fishing effort. If 4 fish were caught, CPUE would equal 0.5
halibut/h. If the number of hours fishing varies for each person add the
number of hours fished by each person by species group targeted at each
location and sum for species group. If you fished for crab or shrimp,
estimate the total number of hours fished by all gear. For example, if 4
shrimp pots were fished overnight for 10 h each then total effort (trap
hours for shellfish) would be 40 h.

height="1.7208333333333334in"}**Record species of finfish and shellfish
caught in that location (include no. of each):** For each location,
record the common name of all finfish and shellfish species caught to
the best of your ability. Record the number of individuals by species
for each location.

**Length of fish kept:** Measure length from tip of snout to end of
caudal fin for **all finfish** kept. A dressmaker's flexible tape serves
this purpose well. Pinch together upper and lower caudal fin lobes as
shown (above left) for measuring length of salmon, rockfish or lingcod.
Halibut should be measured as indicated without manipulating the caudal
fin.

**Number of finfish and shellfish released:** Please record numbers but
do not measure released finfish or shellfish. This will reduce handling
impacts and stress to these individuals.
