I can tell you four locations within Puget Sound -Admiralty Inlet where Yelloweye Rockfish can be caught. But I won't. None are shallower that 180 feet deep. Most are closer to 240.

Our fisheries management of bottom fish is a joke and always has been.

The horse was long gone before management did anything about Puget Sound Rockfish dating back to the early 1980's.

I was one of the two commercial handline jigger fishermen who testified to WDF urging that commercial handline jigging be closed to Puget Sound waters in the very early 1980's.

It was at the same meeting that two commercial trawler fisherman joked that "does WDF really believe were are fishing where we told them".

I don't feel that additional MPA's are the solution.
