EMT or use of someone else's license?

I was talking to Andy at Dock Street Brokers and he

mentioned a "EMT" or emergence medical transfer which

allows a license holder to let someone else fish their

licenses for the season. Can anyone illiterate on this

for me? What all does it involve and what do license

holders usually want $ to make it happen.

Also,

John, KILLER site, met your brother Joe

at the Locks and later chatted with him

at the dock about fishing. I used to

gill net with my father in the last

days of the fishery here in the

San Juans and I'm looking to get into

trolling SE AK. I have a day job

so don't need to make my whole living

from fishing so I don't think it's too

far out for me to do.

thanks,

Marshall

I did the EMT thing once - I think the permit holder needs a doctors note saying they can't fish, but I'm not sure. I know ithe paperwork is simple to lease a permit if you can find someone willing. I leased a hand troll permit for two months in the winter for $500. I'd estimate that you could lease a permit for 10-20% of your gross during the summer. I think I saw a sign in Sitka asking $7,000 to lease a power troll permit last year.

As for a cheap boat, try vancouver island, BC. There are lots of nice wood trollers in Canada with very reasonable price tags.

Wood troller, new engine, $5k. sounds like a good deal.
