Hello,
Last night I was at a friend’s house and as he was reading these postings about ricordeas.net, I got kind of intrigued by them. This morning I put some time into it, what a soap opera!
Let me put my two cents into this pot:
First of all, I see a mediocre guy trying to burn someone else’s business that coincidentally happens to be in the same field as his. Please give me a break! Everywhere I went I saw postings of Duane vs. Kiki! But let’s start from the beginning. Everyone is so concerned throughout these four pages about the bag limits that I have to laugh! That is so naïve of you all, to think that a professional operational with professional collectors would work or propose a package of that caliber counting on Sports Authorities Fishing Permit for Recreational Bag Limits. What is all this non sense? These people are professionals of the industry; won’t you think they would know their business a little better than you all?
Hobbyists trying to underestimate! You guys talk talk talk and all end up buying from all of them. Decide on which side you are and stay there.
I heard this morning from a very reliable source that this guy Duane in reality follows orders from Kiki in exchange for Ricordeas and this whole thing is a marketing set up. He is Kiki’s pet, a true puppet! He even admits he knows her and their kids play together! C’mon guys! Kiki got another 2000 hits and probably a lot of sales since this guy started this whole polemic ordeal. What a marketing mastermind!
Duane, you guys are all the same! This is a little mafia and you are all accomplices!
Get real; you are just as bad as she is, mercenary!
And to think that you really want everyone to believe how much you care for the reefs!
Furthermore the name of the Lieutenant you provided us, either does not exist or is misspelled. Funny to conceive the man would misspell his own name!!
Step down from the soap box and show your true colors. Everything that you are saying and the way you make your comments clearly states your true intentions and I have no doubt about what you are doing.
This morning pretending that I was interested in the diving trip (which I really am), I spoke to Kiki and I was able to understand this whole thing! These people own licenses that are 15-20 years old that according to her only a hand full of divers in Florida still have them. They can take anybody to dive under their vessel and their commercial license. When I asked excited whether I could really take all I could carry , she told me not to have high expectations when harvesting because it takes an experienced diver 6 months of training to start collecting enough marine life to make a pay check at the end of the day and that the idea is to take the hobbyist to take stuff for his own tank and even if I could catch more I should not take more than my tank is able to hold! So I asked about the Ricordeas and she said the Ricordeas themselves are extremely complicated to be removed and that a diver with 15 years of experience spends 5 – 6 hours during an underwater working day to come up with maximum 150 polyps.
That should make all of us revaluate how many polyps, shrimps, little crabs, etc.. that someone without any harvesting experience could find and collect successfully! Please!
If you really think about it, the idea itself is great! Because there would be much less harvesting by the amateurs than there would from the professional sharks! Furthermore she is giving the chance to regular hobbyists like me to see what I love in their natural habitat without having to turn my TV on! Very honest, innovating and pleasant proposal! Kind Regards,
