Jaydee, your entitled to your opinion. In my opinion Neah Bay is the Makah so any support that I give anywhere in that community in one way or another ends up in their pocket. It's not just about the Makahs to me. It's about the way the tribes continually wave their finger at all of us, take more fish and shellfish than they're supposed to and get away with it. Then when they exceed quotas it's the sportsmen who have to suffer and make up for their misdeeds. You mention the opening of Area 8-1 and 8-2 from Oct to Apr for marked fish. Yes this gives opportunity for winter fishing that hasn't existed to us for years. However you notice we didn't get Area 9 which is where 70 to 80% of the winter blackmouth come from in the North Sound. I've fished the north sound for 35 years and yes 8-1 and 8-2 can be good at times but the consistent producer is are 9. Even the bulk of the Everett charter boats fish in Area 9 because that's where the fish are. Here again it's like we're thrown a bone to keep us quiet while the tribes continue to do what they want. Enough is enough. My motto is boycott anything and anywhere that the tribes do business and that includes all their Nevada casino's that nobody but them can have.
