I want to be clear I am not saying I do not think there should be changes to the current system because there should be.
It's just that some boats are making money and the price of fish is up and some boats are leaving the fishery and all of that was in the plan and is good for the fishery.
Part of this whole story reminds me of many recreational anglers that complained after Congress passed the rec license but ignored the RFA and others that were trying to get them to pay attention when action was possible.
In America it's those who participate in the democratic process who get their issues dealt with.
Consolidation of permits looks like a growing problem for those of us that want a small boat fleet and there is already a management change under consideration to improve this issue.
Just be ware and remember I heard it first...the Industry LAw Suit is coming for Recreational Cod allocation...remember I warned you here...we got a fight on the way.
