Actually this is totally confusing to me because you said if the regulations force you to get another job then that's what you have to do.

makes things even clearer for me...
here's the solution:
now that we've established that there are "real" charter guys and "not real" charter guys it and appears that it's only a fraction of the "real" charter guys that feel that they need a two fish exception to stay in business we just need to determine who they are, verify that they are them and grant them an exception.....the other option is to give all of the "real" charter guys two fish(many of whom say they don't want two fish but who might be pressured by their clients to keep two fish against their will) along with the "not real" guys who probably don't deserve to have their "clients" get two fish anyway...that would be a waste and unfair
here's what we do.....make it 1@28 for all recs...keeps it nice and simple...easy to remember
"real" charter guys who believe that they need two fish for their clients who fish once a year in order to get them to book trips so that they can remain in business can apply for an exception....
fill out an application...real charter guys will have to meet a threshold for percentage of income derived from chartering (no rich trophy wives subsidizing, trust funds, retirement income or selling fish to your restaurant friends on the side, or using someone else's boat)...this will weed out the "not real" guys pretty quickly.....and simply have the once a year client purchase a second fish tag before the trip(this will provide important data for the future and ensure that clients won't abuse the "real" charter guy's exemption and help solve any possession limit issues that might arise)
seem reasonable?
