Chatting with a few commercial guys this morning at coffee and they had said that anyone in a sector can go fishing May 1st, draggers, gill netters etc:, anyone in the common pool have to wait until June 1st.

The way it was said about the sector is allocation, lets say that you are allowed 4,000 lbs. of pollock, 30,000 lbs. of cod, 60,000 of haddock. If you go out May 1st and land the 4,000 of pollock then you are done for the season, they are saying that you aren't even able to go catch your allocation of cod etc:. How true that is I do not know. Wait and see.
