The downfall began when they stopped sailing schooners and stacking dories with hand cod lines on deck.
In certain areas they are lots of nice cod around a big nuisance when haddock fishing. Sometimes 8 of 10 fish over the side are keeper cod.
I see both points of view. When the dragger was invented, destroying bottom habitat and netting 10's of thousands of pounds....well that is just unsustainable.
Go back to hook and line. If one were to invest in a few auto jiggers along the rail you could jig a thousand or more pounds at $3 a pound. Should be able to make a living.
For what it's worth the owner of that big boat even thou not catching allot was driving a pretty new nice truck and the house in the burbs wasn't too shabby either.....
Regulation wise, now this is where it gets ridiculous. From the uscg to noaa to nefms too many to keep up with.
