We as a society will have to determine if current and past management schemes, and indiscriminate nonselective commercial fishing is acceptable or attempt to change it in one form or another.

I’m a very patient person and still waiting for improved fishing in Puget Sound for over 50 plus years and getting more than a little frustrated with what appears as a never ending downward spiral in quality of fishing opportunity. Whether it be halibut, ling cod, shrimp, crab, rock fish, steelhead, or salmon to name a few.

Under current ways of management, is it going to get better in the next 50 years of the same o same o?

It appears laws need to be changed, to help management do their job properly.
