Hey G'Pa......

Having grown up in Everett and still making the long trip back home a couple times a year just to crab has me very interested in this issue. I have become so frustrated with the short, then shorter season, and actually planned a vacation this summer only to be able to crab for 2 days before it closed. Has anyone involved in this petition drive addressed the issue of commercials having the ability to crab in the ocean, whereas most sportsmen do not have the means to do so? I really believe that with the dwindling stocks in Puget Sound and the indians 50% allotment being exercised to the fullest now, that Puget Sound crabbing should be reserved for the sportsmen that do the majority of supporting this fishery.....

Just my $ .02 worth (I could go on a rant but will refrain)......
