If trident still hasn't come up to match the price after that leave the rest in the water. Everybody will win, unisea will get the load of crab they deserve for pushing price up, everyone will make some money to pay their bills and next year I bet trident will start negotiating in December.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-88674991603097235012023-01-17T13:00:56.072-09:002023-01-17T13:00:56.072-09:00Easy to say leave them in the water, that won'...Easy to say leave them in the water, that won't feed the crews, their families or make the boat payments. Fact of the matter is that there's a lot of crab on the market and soft demand. Cod guys went on strike out west got a nickel (12.5%) if you applied that to $2.50 you get something like $2.80. Long fish strikes are bitter, divisive and only occasionally net significant gains, in fact they more often net a serious loss and sooner or later somebody breaks ranks through greed or desperation. The idea of trying to round up tenders to ship the product west seems ludicrous to me 5.8 million pounds crab divided by 200k/ tender load is 29 boat trips from Kodiak to ? The fuel, tender cost, dead loss, and frankly the cheating as the unscrupulous players sell their short crab to the tenders... I guess if you could hold the fleet off until mid- March or April when they molt the problem will sort itself out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-75671534515342247772023-01-16T05:22:03.396-09:002023-01-16T05:22:03.396-09:00Leave them in the water for anything less than $4/...Leave them in the water for anything less than $4/lb.
