Fisherman in the NE region, Maine to North Carolina, don't pay to have observers on board. They are reimbursed for overnight observers at the rate of $25/day for food.
I won't count on the spring summer recruitment. It is all up in the air now, unknown.
I am an observer now, and just laid off for the rest of the month, with no word yet regarding March, and the future.
Quite disappointed.
