Native Son, why would the state choose to open areas 9 and 10 for salmon fishing in July?
For resident coho? That's a joke, resident coho fishing has been almost non-existant for the last 4 years. The state is fully aware of the happenings in the salt chuck. 25 boats at Point No Point mooching for coho in mid July. I don't think so.
While I agree that 15 fish is an obscene #, and wouldn't encourage anyone to be as selfish as that. Your mortality figures are ridiculous. These fish are released untouched by hands or nets.
