Well that is the way anyone enters a fishery isn't it?  Should people get boats with no practice on how to use em? Its funny how everyone wants to get into this fishery but they never pony up. There are turnkey trawl operations for sale but instead people are paying over twice as much to build new 58 footers and saying that trawling is ruining em. Aren't very many Seattle boats in  Kodiak which is the fleet this article was talking about. Yes by-catch is pervasive in most fisheries.  What is this sweet deal you speak of? Please elaborate
