Hey Dan,
You say nobody has ever verified a fish kill by dredging, but how about fish EGGS?! I suppose none have EVER been killed by you personally in your thirty years of dredging, right?
And why have Oregon, California, and even Idaho imposed tighter restrictions or outright bans on suction dredging? (You still haven't answered.) I suppose you think the fisheries managers there are just dupes and simpletons.
Finally, why would I want to give you personal data so you and your band of crazed dredging fanatics could harass me?
Go fly a kite.
Your pal,
smelt
ok Smelt, one more try...I will type slow so you can hopefully understand....
Dredgers do not kill fish eggs because they dredge before the fish spawn...get it?
I have never killed a fish with my dredge because I strictly follow the regulations as defined by WDFW aquatic biologists who are probably much better suited to make this determination than you.
Oregon, Idaho and California do not have tighter restrictions, Washington is by far the most tightly regulated. These other states have a variety of other issues going on but the core regulations are all less restrictive than WA.
You should reveal your identity because it is the honest and trustworthy thing to do. It lends credibility to your silly arguments. There is no band of crazed dredging fanatics, just me. I revealed my identity without fear of your band of liberal environmental zealots. I guess you prefer to remain anonymous so you can attack without consequence.
