Slug, I disagree. The number of fisherman hasn't increased nearly as much as the reduction in fishing opportunities. I've fished the sound for 30 years. There used to only be about 20 to 30 boats that fished shrimp. Then salmon seasons started getting restricted and they turn to shrimping etc. etc. Look at crab. We used to have a ten month season and there was a lot of people out crabbing. Then all of sudden it was reduced to what two or three months at most and only certain days of the week. The commercial catch by tribal and non tribal sure the hell hasn't been reduced like that. I see their pots out of Everett every damn time I go out there. What your dealing with is sportsman who pay a ton of money for licences, fee's to launch, gas, moorage and gear and get less and less time to pursue their recreation with every decision made by the WDFW. I don't want to subsistence fish but it would be nice to have our "Fair Share" of fishing opportunities.
