You have just proved that you know NOTHING about how the RSA works! There have been many threads about this program, if your computer was down maybe you should have looked at past posts to educate yourself about the subject! And why take your frustrations out on the boats that purchased poundage to keep us fishing! The boat owners are probably going to loose money by keeping us fishing, but you go ahead and boycott those boats that have purchased poundage, which was "set aside" anyway. I will make up for your shortfall.

I for one thank the boats that have decided to purchase the poundage and extend my season. This is a program that has been around for YEARS! 100% of the money goes to research, which you would know if you did some research before condemning boats trying to stay in business.

Don't explain to your grandchildren that you can't fluke, just take them on a trip on a RSA vessel.

The only reason I take this tone with you, is because you have stated that you have no "respect" for peeps fishing these boats, which I am one of. Learn about the permit before you hurt someone trying to extend our season legaly. If you don't like it blame the government, not the boats adhearing to the law. If the PB's didn't purchase the poundage the commercials would have anyway.

Maybe you can do some research (not hard, just look at past posts) and give these guys a break.
