The state people I know want to make situations like this better for Sport fishermen, but they can't. The department in whole lacks the necessary negotiation power against sovereign nations. The Feds are simply inept..... and the swirl of our fisheries going down the drain remains intact.
There are several tribes with a modicum of morality, but the rest have, can, and will continue to do almost whatever they want without consequence. Then scream habitat when all the fish are gone.
