Each tribal boat has 100 pots strung in long lines between two buoys. They are working right in front of the Edmonds waterfront. The marina usually will have 5 or 6 commercial boats and they usually have Alaskan homeports . Last shrimp season there were 6 Alaskan commercial boats working for the one indian woman. The wholesaler in Bothell has their truck there loading it full of fresh shrimp. The sports guys will get the leaving...or scraps if you will when it opens for us. The tribes want to get the shrimp to market before BC. Thanks to the Rafeedie decision they get atleast 50% of the shrimp before the rest of us get a shot at them in our curtailed season.
