The above, after talking to a tribal enforcement officer from Suquamish. We talked about how I can go out with 2 pots and catch 10 crab (2 people) in one set. Then I'm done.

My tribal co-managere boat can go out with 38 pots. Because of their commercial size, lets assume conservatively they also catch 10 per pot. That's 380 crab per set. And they are done! No way! Tribal have a 24 hour a day to fish, no limit, to catch thier 50/50 share. Lets say 5 runs were made, again, conservatively. That's 1900 crab a day, for that one boat.

WHOS COUNTING THE CRAB (or insert your favorite species name here), and estimating it against the sport catch of 5 per person?? The tribe is. That's like asking shoopers to set their own price on something and expecting it to be fair.

So, back to the dock: I asked, "Where did you catch those, Eglon? Kingston?
Answer: "No way, we killed all the good crab here. We go to Everett, there's way more there. "
