The tribes always threaten the state and WDFW. Once they got the 50% ruling on all shellfish the geoduck fishery, clams, oysters, sea urchins...and so on started a downward spiral. Sure there are more recreational fishers on the water but I submit that it is the greedy commercials (only 21 non-treaty crabbers) and not the recreational fishers who are getting the shaft. We bring in the most money to the state's economy by far and yet we hear about how a tiny minority of commercial fishers are DUE the biggest share.

The crab should belong to all the citizens and not the tiny contingent of people making a profit off of their harvest. They will always complain about too few crab...And we sit back and take in the pooper again and again. It is time to speak up for a fair allocation of the natural resources of all the people.
