Todd,

well put, the mentality of Harvest first ask questions later is one of the reasons that has got us to where we are today. It is unexceptable for a system to not meet escapement when both a comm. and rec fishery take place. We'll just have to wait and see what happens here in a couple months to see whether or not enough fish will make it back.

I think it's time for the state to invest in some sonar equipment like you see in alaska in hopes of getting some better in season data.
