A partner of mine at work reports his friend operates/owns a commercial vessel that fished that chum fishery in 8-2 & 9 and said they are done for the season as of today. He said his friend told him the nets came in full for several days and that they stopped when the numbers in the nets dropped significantly. He said they had never seen those kind of numbers before from fish destined for the snohomish system. Like someone else said they were right about getting $15/lb for the eggs which is what his friend said to him they were primarily netting chum for. BTW the eggs are enroute to Japan.
