They had evidently fished that way for years.<br /><br />If memory serves me correctly after season one the fishing industry "powers that be" stopped that and each boat was given a quota to meet for the season. A lot of smaller boats quit fishing and now sell their quotas to the bigger boats that are still fishing each season. At least that's my understanding of it.<br /><br />Yep, I still think the processors can and should change their dates when there's cyclones out there, so the guys don't feel they have to fish just to meet the processor date. It's dangerous enough without the cyclones.Ohranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343090882498222705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426703676482725025.post-72997009320669566222011-06-30T00:20:03.109-04:002011-06-30T00:20:03.109-04:00The one thing that the show doesn't explain an...The one thing that the show doesn't explain any more (at least I haven't seen it this season, with all the popularity)The Captain's have to bid on what they bring in before they go out. (PJ please correct me if I'm wrong) The processor's hand out dates these Capt's have to make, the processor's are not forgiving, bad weather or not. That adds to the pressure for these Capt's. I give them huge credit when your income depends on things you have no control over!<br /> Hey twitter fans.....follow the crews and fishing vessels, the show is so much more fun live tweeting with them!
