There will be a lot of good fishermen looking for a new jig when the owner of his boat sells his allotted share to get out of the debt he has found himself in.

Yes thats the thing Eben and folks the sector thing is assigning quotas on the limited landings people have been allowed for the last couple years they need to go back and look to see who landed what before the 0 pound a day stuff took affect to make it fair... And for the record its a lot harder to sell your days or quotas then you think with new laws they make it very hard to do this with the new laws in place.. To wit if you buy a boat with permits you HAVE to fish for a solid year before you can swap permits to another boat... just FYI
