After experiencing the fiascos described above in area 8-2 I decided to go to the tribal fisheries office to find out when the tribal crabbers would be on the water so that I could schedule my crabbing excursions on days they would not be out. In talking with the people there I found out that the tribal people were now required to mark on a punch card the 12 crab per 2 day personal limit for subsistance fishing which would then be counted towards the Indian allotment. The commercial buyers have always been required to report the amount of product bought from the Indian fishermen. So an accurate count can be assertained. The problem is in the enforcement by tribal fisheries patrol. Many times the patrolmen are related to those doing the fisheries so the head is turned the other way or just a warning issued when there are violations.( had a friend who worked as a tribal fisheries officer who got fired for citing the tribal chairman for fishing outside the boundry). The state has gotten more assertive in making sure the tribes are counting every thing they take against their allotment so hopefully things will be on a better track.
