Of course, some larger boat owners may disagree. Bob and Melanie

[Quote=BobR]If ALL (Alaska, Canada, rest of U.S.) fishing was shut down for 4 years I would agree with this, since that would be fair and everyone (except the fish) would suffer to benefit the runs. Since this ain't going to happen any suggestion that ocean fishing be shut down while other fisheries are allowed would result in some really nasty in-fighting. If you really want to turn fishermen against each other this is certainly the ticket! Either we fish together or we all sit at the dock together! Civil war otherwise. Bob R
