I would like to see how this will impact our summer sports fisheries, in reduced days, quotas, or complete fisheries. This has gone on for to long, the WDFW has basically turned a blind eye or at best tried to play fireman, seeing what they can do after the fire has started to minimize the damage.

Is it viable for “US” the sports fisherman and those business that are connected with the sports fishing industry, SUE the Maka tribe for the loses of our fishing rights and moneys due to their negligence and the DFW for their gross mismanagement. I would be willing donate $ 200.00 right now and more in the future. I feel this is the only way we can get anything accomplished, through the courts.

“Rescind the Boldt Decision...while we still have fish left!"

Might be the best effort we could make for the long run. I don’t know how or where to even start. Todd I hope you could shed some light on this.

We have the numbers

Number of sports fisherman vs. commercial vs. tribes

Greatest number of Dollars generated per fish.

We just need to harness these and the many others that I have not mentioned and make them work for us.

I, like many, have finally woken up and realize now that by just making sense and the correct thing to do, has no effect on what or how the decision to set allocations or fishing RIGHTS what so ever.


I am willing to put my TIME and what MONEY I can to fighting to get our RIGHTS back.

Enough is enough and I am ready to act, I just need to know how and with who.

I belong to the PSA and the RFA and will be asking how can we take this issue on in the courts. Hope to hear more about this very soon.
