Some of you guys must be livin' in FantasyLand if you truly think that the passage of BAN bring any more fish to the spawning beds.If we could really ban ALL nets,there are very few people that wouldn't fully support this inititive.But,we all know deep down who will really benifit from the passage of BAN,and it aint the fish.Us sport fishermen will probobly get a few more chances,but the tribal nets stretched almost bank to bank will surely continue to decimate the once great runs.I have lived here all my life,and have been intimitly involved with both sport and commercial fishing since the early 70's.You are right,commercial fishing(for non-tribal fishermen)is a dead industry in Washington,and probobly should come to an end.But,to single out a very small precentage of the problem,in what appears to be a blatent effort to get a few more fish available to sport fishermen,is not the noble cause that BAN supporters make it out to be.Just how many of those "35000 kings caught during the sockeye fishery" do you suppose were taken by non-tribal,american fishermen?Will BAN stop interception by Canadian and tribal sockeye fishermen?By the way,I havn't commercial fished since 1979,but I am on the water,river or sound,5 days a week.
