The minute a net hits the water that 24 hour calendar day counts. So QIN go on Sunday noon and pull Wednesday noon it is 4 days by the calendar week. The QIN fish 24 hour sets which is different. The GHP says when possible which applies if say the QIN did Sunday to Thursday which takes 5 days out but the GHP DOES NOT limit QIN but only the non treaty fishery. WDFW simply redefined the verbiage to fit their needs of cramming a NT Commercial in an extra day. The key words here are calendar week which was put in just for that purpose to keep staff from playing games.

It would sure be interesting to see how staff presented this to the Director. I imagine judging by the fact they hid this innovative interpretation of the GHP in plain site utilizing the ZOOM dog and pony show omission facts and intent likely was not all that great of concern.
