ROFFS™ Record Setters

HOW GOOD ARE WE?

We were able to fulfill 91% of all requests for analyses this year (2007). This was accomplished, in part, to our use of as many ocean sensing satellites as possible including all the functioning NOAA infrared satellite data (NOAA_12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and Metop-A), as well as, the NASA Terra and Aqua (MODIS) satellites (infrared and ocean color-chlorophyll + dissolved colored orgainc matters). Our clients continue to tell us that we are right 85% of the time for tuna, billfish, shark, king mackerel, dolphin, wahoo, squid, sardine, anchovy, pilchard, and a variety of other fish. Our excellent reputation is based on successes with sport and commercial fishing off the U.S. coasts and overseas.

During the 2007 fishing season, our clients(you) won 340 different categories in 110 major tournaments (reported to us) while using our analyses. We are sure that there are still additional prize winning efforts that have yet to be reported to us. Over the last 16 years the total numbers of reported winners tallies at 3805 with fourteen state records and five world records! Check out our winner's list to see a listing of our tournament winners from the past year.
