Thanks a million

Many Power troll permits are issued in the South East Alaska Area? My Local newspaper is writing an article about me coming to Alaska to deckhand on a troller. Any info would be great.
Thanks

Getting ready to head to Petersburg in a week. Talked to the Capt. and he told me we would probably be up around Noyes Island near the start of Coho season. Hope everyone has a great season and hope to meet a few of you up there this year.
