The captain has to deal with uncertainty in his income and the inability to project future income if this trend becomes the norm. I think all he's saying is the open boat forum should be for us fisherman to communicate with each other to fill charters rather than the captain do all the work. In his eyes this is a trend that in the long run isn't beneficial to the charter business. Sometimes statements are taken out of context or perceived the wrong way. I also understand the situation is a bit of a double edged sword because staying tied to the dock isn't beneficial either. And also to be clear I've never met the man or fished with him but I do see what he's saying from a business stand point.
