Ha! Rogers on that! I heard Trump has already gotten an earful from several user groups (both recreational and commercial) and hopefully he can "drain the swamp" in fisheries management as well.

It only works well if you the money to buy or lease IFQ .
or was one of the few that received a large allocation .
Mutt has been on here before and is totally legit , has
taken the time in previous posts over the years to explain
how the system works ;
here it is in nutshell ;
get a gulf reef fish permit , which may or may not have an allocation of
quota for grouper or red snapper ;
buy or lease the species you need to land from other share holders .
harvest , call it in , get a landing number , be at a specified dock to unload to
a specified , permitted dealer . a biologist shows up , measures , weighs your
fish , sounds simple , but generally it's not .
it theory you can buy , sell, lease , quota like a stock or bond .
but in reality , if you starting out , it costs you 20%-25% to land a fish you used to
land for free .
it is an artificially created industry and requires you have a VMS tracking device for have the permit , something else you pay a fee to maintain .
several Council members on the SE Atlantic are pushing this for the east coast'
and could profit massively from this .
it creates a caste system of haves and have nots .
what pissed everyone off was the weighted vote by poundage for permit
owners during it
s inception . one vote should have one permit , didn't happen ,
202 vessels went out of business because of the program in the Gulf .
want to see the results - look up a show called "Big Fish , Texas "
it's not about fish , it's about manipulating quota and the rich fat cat running katies seafood house.
he is what the newspaper calls a fish baron .
unfortunately this is the framework you have to work in if you want to play.
buy quota , if you got the money since I don't anticipate the system ever
changing .
