They are so full of Crap about the amount that the sport guys catch .

They go to the launch on a Saturday when its 70 degrees and glass calm . Check boats till the late afternoon multiply that times however many days we got and say OOOPS your over quota for the year but not to worry we will make it right next season . Never taking in to account the fact that many days you can't even get out to fish or you are very limited in the fishable areas because of wind and or tides. Not to mention the fact that the larger percentage of people can't even fish the week days. Most of those boats that fish a Saturday or two a year get very few fish and spend a ton of money doing it.

We have gone from a month to 15 days then 12 then 11 then 10 and now 8 days. It was the last remaining reason to live in this state . They have pretty much stolen all the other fishing opportunities from us and now they are targeting the last remaining leg of the stool. At some point its time to quit buying a license for opportunities we don't get .

Besides ,God forbid the sport guys cut into the 30 or 40 day ( or how ever long it is) long line season for the tribes that put out thousands of hooks at a time , which conveniently they get before the sport guys ever get on the water . And the state still wonders why the fish are smaller the last couple season and harder to catch?

At some point we might want to think about the people we vote into office most of who are bank rolled by the tribes .. just a thought. That's a pretty tall order though , this is Washington state
