JacobF,
This is at least the fifth time I've seen you post that, and I've got a few questions for you.
1. Why do you think the Indians will a. try to increase netting, and b. be able to do so?
They will increase netting because in theory there will be more harvestable fish available to them when the sportsman no longer have the right to retain any.
They will be able to do so because, well, their Indians. When was the last time this state has turned down what appears to be a resonable demand from the tribes?
2. Where did you get the information that you used to answer number one?
Well, I just want to state right now that you may not believe me or just think I'm shooting my mouth but I have a very good friend that I fish with quite a bit who has a good friend who works in the WDFW (one of the few people with common sense). He was disgusted when he found out.
For the second part, I've learned from history and experience that the tribes pretty much get what they want with no supervision.
3. Have you read anything, either supporting or not supporting your assertion, that has either a basis in fact or comes from someone who is either "in the know" or has an education or experience that allows them to know what they're talking about?
Yes, see my answer to your previous question.
I'm not trying to be fascetious here, it's just that you keep saying that stuff, and in spite of what I know to be fairly educated folks asking you questions and offering you different opinions, you haven't yet offered anything but repeating the same thing over and over again.
You haven't backed up your assertion yet, nor have you said anything to refute the assertions others have made, except for saying the same thing again.
I look forward to your response.
Fish on...
Todd.
No problem and no offence or anything. I wish I could give you the name of the individual in the WDFW but I'm not sure if he'll get in trouble or not if the information is not supposed to be public yet.
Basically, what will happen (if mandatory C&R goes into effect) is that the state will grant the tribes permission to net 7 days a week because, on paper, there will be many more harvestable fish. The only thing I'm not 100% sure on are my numbers, but I think it's safe to say that with tribes netting 7 days a week, more natives will be killed than if every sportsman who catches a native kills it. It seems logical when you consider the numbers of fish killed by nets.
Again, I'm not promoting C&K, I think people should be educated and taught to use proper C&R methods. That way, we don't give the tribes the excuse the need to net more.
