Homer jig fisherman lacked permit, troopers say

From the Alaska State Troopers:

Location: Homer
Type: Commercial fish without permit
On 5/3/11 Alaska Wildlife Troopers issued a misdemeanor citation to Eric Haughey, 34, of Homer, for participating in the state Pacific cod jig fishery without a valid Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission permit card. Investigation revealed Haughey had made two trips without the original permit holder onboard and retained Pacific cod without previously obtaining a mechanical jig permit. Arraignment is scheduled for 6/7/11 in Homer District Court.
