A rather long winded reply got lost in cyberspace ... bottom line is ... Are you for real Patrick!

Try to figure out who the winners and losers are. Is it the comms that have a ton of restrictions and are limited to 900# a day or the party boat owners who can get $100 or more per angler per trip.

A party boat that takes 40 anglers can harvest 400 cod. At say an average of 5# each ... thats 2000#. More than twice what the comm can harvest. But the owner gets $4000 or more, less expenses. So who would suffer the most??
