Yea, it's long overdue. With the Southworth fishery in particular, keeping the line where it is doesn't make sense. On an outgoing tide, the fish go around the corner into area 10, and on the incoming swim back into area 11. And do all of the guys out there pay attention to the line? Ah, NO! That line is abused plenty, and are any area 10 endangered fish conserved because of that line? I think not. The same is true for Dolphin Pt. on the Vashon side. Same line, same abuses.

For a couple of years, they created a triangular bubble with some boundaries that allowed Pt. Southworth to be fished on both tides. Even if they had that bubble again, that would be better than the current line.

Where did you hear this? Is this from the NOF meetings or some WDFW source?
