I have to agree with Marty on this one. A six fish limit and a short opener is the samw type of thinking that leaves our fisheries fishless. Can't we restrain ourselves from taking more than our share. Regardless if they give us a six fish limit...take one for your BBQ and fortget about the neighbors, the inlaws, and the freezer. Let these fish spawn! Its like there are a bunch of rabid dogs jumping on the fence just waiting for the WDFW to open up the fishery. When they do...watch them pounce!!!
p.s. if they do open it and you happen to hook into a smallmouth bass, release it!!! Take a lesson from those of us who are involved in an excellent display of what catch and release can do for a fishery
