I just got back from the SeaTac North of Falcon meeting that happened today.
It was my first time there, lots to absorb, but lots of good info and neat to see the process.

I'll post more on the rest of the meeting tomorrow, (my head's still spinning) but this post is to give a heads-up to the Area 9 fisherpeople, especially the ones that fish the west side of Area 9.

The west side of Area 9 had little to no representation at this NOF meeting, and some interesting proposals got thrown around. One of which was to change the blackmouth season from what it is now (Nov 1-30, and Feb 16th to Apr 10th) to a fishery that is just Nov, Dec, Jan.

THE WDFW IS LOOKING FOR INPUT from people that fish area 9, they want to know what sort of winter season you'd like to see there.

Please contact WDFW man Tony Floor, either email him at <floortaf@dfw.wa.gov>, or call him at 360-902-2236

I don't know about you, but to me it seems like there would be more fishable days in March and April than there are in Dec or Jan... not sure though.
