What's the big deal? We (the sport fishermen) just need to remember our place in life. We are an inconvenience to the power brokers. Our roll is to provide money (and lots of it) and then to shut-up and let the grownups make all the decisions.

Cheer up! "They" said they will let us fish for pink salmon, and of course there is also sand dabs. (Of course, the commercials will get a large share of the pink salmon.) Commercials are a priority because they have such a large financial impact on the state and communities.

Remember, this decision was made to "reduce the impact on wild fish" so be sure to follow all the rules so the wild fish you "don't" catch can be really healthy when it swims into a gillnet and dies!
