Dear Commissioners of WDFW and Morris Barker,
Please consider changing the crab meeting date immediately for the scheduled Saturday, March 5, opening day of trout season to another day that does not have any fishing related importance. Also do not schedule it on the same day as any other WDFW meetings that the general public is invited to, as thus has been happening so far this year. Your posts ask for "public input" and then you schedule meetings on one of the busiest fishing days of the year. This is not a fair practice to the people of Washington State that you are supposed to be representing. It is very hard for us to talk to the sportfishers of Washington state about fairness when this is purposely done. The general public is getting very angry about the way WDFW handles matters like this. These matters are really waking a gentle giant. I think it would be in your best interest to start to work with the general public and not without them. We need a fair date set to represent ourselves.
Thank you
Ron Garner
