Does anyone know what ever happened with this?

Anyway, that year, I saw some Suquamish crabbers at the ramp with a major haul off crab. I asked them where, because my pots were not productive. They said, " We fished all this out (Area 9), there are none left here. We go up past Everett."
(Recall tribes start crabbing in April or May).


Suquamish have U&A north into 8-1/8-2 and the Swinomish south to cover (at least) the same area. Right in the middle? Tulalip (and several smaller tribes). One can only speculate on validity of tribal catch reporting as they compete within those overlapping areas against a total set share (assuming that there is an agreement with WDFW).
