You have no idea how many of the fleet will be fishing.


There are 550 permits, 150 of them fish right now... I've looked into the cost of a permit, if a guy could get his hands on one... I think they'll bring a pretty penny if and when all of this goes through...

Whether they use allocation impacts or not, there are only so many fish the commercials can catch. They do not take priority over sport harvest. They have to split the harvest between themselves just like the tribes do. If they do not renew the permit every year, its automatically retired. If the gear is swtiched to different gear, chances are not all of them will participate.
