i know you dont fish down there so you have no concept of what goes on but look at the numbers for fall chinook on this chart, over half are wild plus a bunch of tules, why would i want to go down there if i wanted a decent chinook to eat ?

I dont care if you go or not. I have no idea, what the commission and the department will do about retention of those fish. I dont even know if the commercial fish in the fall.
