You make some good points Salmo, but although I do believe in the "can do" attitude, that attitude I reserve for myself and not others that I have no control over. Does not matter how "can do" my attitude is if the other party does not feel the same.
You state that reporting of catch is "about equal" to non-treaty commercials.... I say you are very wrong on this point. Although commercials are not worthy of defending in my opinion, the tribal fisherman do not EVER have the fisheries dept. staring down their neck and when the commercials sell, there is a very stringent paper trail from both their side and the buyers side. On the tribal side of things, they are not forced to comply, they are asked to comply. If they sell to a 3rd party and fail to report it, the third party (you, me, restaraunt owner, etc.) does not face any huge fines for not reporting it. Try buying from a commercial for "commercial" purposes and if you get caught failing to report the sale you can be shut down.
Anyway, I applaud the efforts and ideas of you and the others, something needs to be done.
Anything that will save the wild fish is worth the effort, and lord knows how many wild fish end up in the nets.......
