No where in that post do I say that I agree or disagree,just letting you what i do know as an ex-deckhand.

I will say that when I got out I got offered the chance through the state to use your tax dollars to be retrained in something else.I turned it down because it is not how I was raised.

I do not claim to be a carpenter I am.

So you would rather see these guys out there scratching the bottom,catching nothing marketable,but killing the rest of the food chain trying?That is what this buy out is about more than anything else.

How come you do not address the reel question of whos fault it is in the long run.The comercial fishermen can only operate under the rules set buy our gov bios and politicians.true or false?Maybe the fishing industry should sue the gov for mismanagement?Now that would be expensive.

You are also missing the fact that the fleet is paying the gov. back and this is a loan of our tax dollars not a hand out.
