If you have issues with how pollock and Halibut are fished commercially your issue is with the federal government not the state of Alaska. National Marine Fisheries Service regulates it. King Salmon in SE is also managed under a International Treaty. The way I see it is Alaska has never failed me in giving me a great fishing experience unlike us to the south. I have never felt that commercial harvest has affected any of my trips. Even while fishing right beside Trollers all day. The fact remains that the average alaskan that I Know can't stand tourists and charter operations. They will always side with the commercial fleets. Thats just the way they are. Alaskans are for Alaskans. It is there state after all.
