I still can not believe the hours spent by WDFW, sports individuals, and the NT gillnetters, to keep a net fishery going that costs the State more than the gillnetters make. How stupid is that???????


It's welfare, plain and simple. They don't want to do something else for those few weeks because the state gives them a freebie and we all pay for it. The main commercial fishery, the tribe, provides PLENTY of fish to the market.
