Also add that the Makah Tribe sent a representative who testified against the proposed additional restrictions as well as did a representative from Olson's Resort in Sekiu.

It was also pointed out that there is no data to support the proposed restrictive changes and that some proposed rule changes were not recommended to go forward for that very reason.

Mike Jamboretz of Jambo's Sportfishing and Tom Burlingame of Excel Fishing Charters also spoke against the proposals and provided anecdotal testimony about rockfish numbers as well as their ability to target ling using large lures thereby minimizing contact with non-target rockfish in those waters open to them (less than 120 feet) contrary to the information provided by the proponent.
