Don't ever think that voicing your opinions and desires concerning fishing quotas , seasons, netting etc. does no good...BALONEY..It is the only thing we can do to make a difference. I spoke with a WDFW employee yesterday at the show and thanked him for the NOF meeting last Thursday at Mill Creek...His advise was to stay engaged and involved. The gill netters and purse seiners had their own meetings with WDFW and believe me they stay engaged in the process all the way along. It does matter what you think and it does sometimes make a big difference. What screws the sports community is our own lack of involvement. When the seasons are decided which is right now if our voice is not constantly heard along with the commercials and the tribes we will get left behind. If you think gill netting 7 days a week in Willapa Bay is crap then let WDFW know via emails or letters or phone calls. ...I honestly believe that commercial and tribal harvests are the big reason the returning stocks are so low in Grays Harbor ....I said so to WDFW and will be emailing my recommendations this week. I know my involvement makes a difference. So don't just write about politics and religion on this board 24/7.....write your elected officials and WDFW and the commission and NOAA and the NMFS and let them know what you would like to see and what you would like changed. If you don't then don't ever complain about how crappy fishing is. Amen
