I Just returned from the political discussion at seacrest pier this evening. I'm wondering if anybody else was there, and what you're opinions are, of the answers given to us by Mr Padilla. My personal opinion is that he managed to evade any real answers to most of the questions presented to him. Also,his refusal to even consider re-opening the pier to C&R fishing,or coho fishing,I thought was very lame. These guys, for the most part, are fishing here because they lack acess to a boat. Also, they seem very self-regulating,and try to keep people from cheating.Wdfw claims 300 chinook have been caught at the pier, while guys who fish there every day were saying the number is closer to 100. Boating sportsmen, and indian nets together have taken 7to8thousand fish, come on!!! what is a hundred or so fish compared to these numbers?? Also, a lot of pier caught fish are probably southbounders, not even from the green river stocks.GIVE THE LITTLE GUY A BREAK!!!!
