need some input from tha captains on here...
 

hey commercial guys whats a Rhode Island "principal effort lobster and restricted finfish license license worth?? .... whaddya think??

what state ?????

sorry-- RI

(corrected the post above)

not sure about the lobster but the restricted fin fish is worth at least 10k $ from what I've been told

In order to sell it / you need 75 sales slips in two years & the boat has to go with the sale [legally]:devil2:

No way! At least not unless it comes with federal DAS and quota.

Mike ,
that,s what some guys are paying . I,m not sure if its just restricted fin fish or the goldern Multi-purpose ..

I talked to one man at a meeting that has a commercial dragger ......he has 3 or 4 sons with no licenses . he is willing to pay . to get for his sons , they work on the boat now at deck hands & want to follow the family tradition . so to him & his kids ,,, he has a real desire & [need] to get them .so he is probably willing to pay more .

Clammer's right Mike. We both know guys who have paid that and even more. There is a license available right now with an old Romarine and Merc 2 stoke with a bazillion hours on it and the guy want $21 K.

For some reason there are people in RI who think they can make a fortune commercial fishing. You're better off getting a MA license if you want to make a few bucks and sell fish. JMO

That's just crazy, makes no economic sense.

thanks everyone.... makes the decision a little easier. got some good information here
