Pardon my misspelling of Waadah, I've seen it spelled at least different ways since I first fished it in 1964.

I'm currently requesting some information from WDFW before sending comments, but among my thoughts are that leaving it as it is is the best option.

Not all of the area is prime bottom fishing and some species are migratory to some extent, Pelagic rockfish such as Blacks, Blues, Widows, Yellowtail.

I am a bit puzzled that Widows and Yellowtail rockfish are not part of the legal rockfish limit as they are pelagics and move sometimes in vast schools. A simple fish identification poster placed at boat ramps could quickly educate fishermen new to the fishery.

As beautiful as it is, when the weather isn't kicking your behind, I don't see how non-comsumptive use could provide economic benefit nearly equal to sport fishing to the area.

Changing the bottomfish limit doesn't make sense to me either, as long as limits have been set for rockfish, lings and cabezone that should take care of it.

I doubt that many sport fishermen fishing Marine area 4B are going there to limit out on sand dabs, sole and Irish Lords.
