I think your question should read: "How many more times will we get shafted?"

I can rememeber when BM fishing was year around. Boy... those were the days! Seems like I almost have to plan a vacation around fishing the "great" fishing- or fight the crowds. Although I admittedly put a pretty good dent in the dent, I also releasee a lot. The numbers seem to be getting smaller though.

Although numerous factors dictate our "seasons," we need to have better management in all areas. Do I have the answer? Nope! One thing that would definitely help is stopping the watse and abuse by the tribes (among other things).

There is already talk of paying additional money for crab seasons. We already pay- enough to boot! I would like to see the allotment lowered to 3 myself. 6 crabs is a lot of meat!
