Spawnout the legislation Eickmeyer wanted to pass would have shut down Hood Canal to ALL fishing except for guess what? You got it...commercial purse seining of chum salmon! His legislation was loaded with made up info....claiming it would restore such fishes as Black cod....take a look at the historical records and one would have to ask the question what Black cod?

I will support any sensible effort to eliminate commercial netting. BTW are you all aware that the WDFW commission is supporting the commercial gillnetters getting 2/3 of the nontribal springer allocation on the Columbia next year?
