I agree that is the way it is. In SE where I fish more than 30 days a year, Residents will side with commercial interests on all issues. They will go out of there way to voice displeasure of the charter fleet. The charter fleet is refered as the Charter Nazi's. In Sitka they went ahead and put a tax on all charter client fish boxes that leave the airport. They closed area's to charter Halibut fishing while allowing both subsistence and commercial longlines to continue fishing that area.
