"Boom" As one sport fishing advisory board summed it up, “the closures represent a loss of approximately 24 area-months to sport fishing opportunity compared to last year, the most restricted fishery in history.”

"Boom"“It was a tough year and no one is going to have a good fishing season,” said Kelly Susewind, the WDFW Director.

"Boom"I’ve been fishing since I was little. It is part of my blood to be able to do this, so I’m going to do everything on our part to make sure we are able to get these things fixed and get back to fishing the way it was. You can count on me not to give up. I’m not throwing up a white flag,” vowed Mark Yuasa of the Northwest Marine Trade Association

I'll keep beating the drum BOOM, BOOM, BOOM because it's just that important.

UNTIL THE REC COMMUNITY DRAWS A LINE IN THE SAND AS SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE ON A PERMANENT BASES UNTIL ALL REC FISHING IS CLOSED FOREVER...
