I have no concern with the Cab’s since I don’t fish for them.

My interest is solely the process, or lack of it, concerning the less than transparent approach allegedly used by Craig in the department.

The department must have 2 ways of dealing with the public. Commercials get full disclosure and the recreational sector doesn’t.

Why would the department worry about a decision if the chances of a court injunction isn’t probable by the recreational sector. The commercials on the other hand are notorious in going to court.

Until there is a shot across the bow of the department with court action by the recreational group--- I don’t see anything changing real quick.

A lawsuit against Craig B personally and an injunction against the department decision seems in order. They might consider appropriate protocol next go around instead of sleight of hand. I would hold the department to the same standard, to their decision making process, that would affect a commercial fishery.

Any fishing attorneys out there that want to pick low hanging fruit?
