[does anyone know what percentage of the commie 88% is held by the slipper skippers?....holmes* /QUOTE]
Last year 79% was leased out
And here is some interesting fact for you ALL to see
couple of more facts for ya
17% is owned by fn under the picfi program, and they have no boats to fish it so that is leased back. last year it was leased to both commercial and recreational harvesters.
the other 57% does not account for fish that is leased more than once. that is if someone leases quota and they end up short, odds are if it is a small amount of fish it is re-leased.

just curious. what are the 5033 replacement licences for? any idea how many of those are maxed out and make it to the garbage?
So you see!!!! a treand there guys the commies say non canadiens take 75% of the halibut????? hmmm how can that be when there is only 44,000 lic. sold compared to 248,024 canadian lics sold and would only imagine a percentage of them only fish halibut mostly sallmon as indicated by the salmon stamp purchases.
nobody said 75% was taken by non canadians. it was 75% by lodge/charter. Can you pull out of the numbers how many licences were bought strictly to go after the sockeye run last year with all the hype
One thing I will say is we are all in this together even if you dont like it!!!! the sports out number the charter/lodge ten fold and yes us charter/guides are making the most noise WHY for a lot of us its our livleyhood think about it in a deferant perspective for you guide/charter haters.
so if you make your living on catching fish does that not make you a commercial enterprise?
What ever you do for a living be it construction/retail/sales/mechanics/ what ever you do .. you been doing it for years and then all of a sudden someone comes in and say OK LISTEN STOP WORK NOW AND WE WILL TELL YOU WHEN YOU CAN COME BACK TO WORK OK!!!!!(maybe a day or 3 before we tell you)
can you imagine loosing 45% of your income and then having someone come and try and undermine another 10-15% through lobbying and misinformation. only to try and increase revenue in another business
Whats your response going to be?????WTF how am I supposed to make ends meet I just bought new tools/suits/equipment and I have to feed and maintain my family!!!!!!! this is not fair!!!!!!!
welcome to the fish business.
So you see same coat just painted differentlly. really think about that and think about how that would effect you and your family!!!!!! if you could live with that well your a bigger man than me cause I dont want to live like that......
funny how you have no problem trying to kick the crap out of the commercial industry and their ability to make a living.
Wolf;
like it or not we are all in this together, commies, recs, fn's. the fighting between sectors plays right into the hands of dfo. no matter what direction this goes there are no winners. the commies have had to rationalize their fleet to make things work and it may be the way of the lodge/charter sector as well.
I will say that after reading a fair bit and going over some posts from those like dd that the solution is far more complicated then just moving fish from the slipper skippers. sounds like a good plan but almost impossible to flush out who exactly they are. A big question to me is what do yo do with the 17% gov just bought for fn and now leases out for top dollar?
