I have been stewing on this for a while. Sport fisherman and fisherwomen need to unite across the board with groups that share our passion, and perhaps even some of our enemies to unite against the economic power of the tribes. It would appear to me that a number of tribes want their cake and eat it too, ala, we have Casino's that fill out pocket with money, we want to fish beyond our sustenance (Commercial), we want to use the latest white man technology to catch our fish, and we will use our Casino profits to get what ever the hell we want.

Would it be possible to target the worst offenders in this category, BOYCOTT their casinos, find other tribes that have casinos but are willing to work with us for fishing rights, direct customers from the offending tribes casinos to those willing to work with us, and see what happens? A 10 -15 percent decline in Casino business will be jobs lost and folks pointing fingers within the tribes. I am already seeing tribes fighting over development rights over at Snoqualmie.

Frankly I am sick and tired of sitting on the sidelines. It is time to fight these basturds where it hurts. In the wallet. If we could get traction on this perhaps some broader marketing campaigns would help including internet and TV advertising along the lines of "they say they are endangered, but gill net the salmon. Is your casino visit funding this"
