It works on a money amount for us. I am not really sure what that amount is, but it is so much after your boat. I think 25% comes off your boat, and I think you need roughly $12,000 after expenses and everything to qualify for EI.
Anyhow, that's the way it is. And then there are two claims that you can go through during one season. But the thing is that if you have a husband and wife operation, that $12,500 turns into $24,000 clear, and it makes it pretty tough, because we're not catching that many fish. If you want to do the math, and you're talking of a price that's maybe as low as $3 and a pretty good catch in our area of 10,000 a year, that's $30,000. When you take your expenses out of that, you're not going to qualify.
I hope you understand it now.
