To Irish's point-

Just looking at the Everett opening day checks in 2015 the folks averaged 0.23 Chinook/angler, in 2016 the average was 0.20, in 2017 it was 0.33 and for 2018 the average from MA 9 was an amazing 0.60.

Since the opener the first week catch rates in 2018 have remained 2 to 3 times what was the norm in 2015 to 2017. Unless there has been a significant drop in effort (is that the case?) there is no way that the fleet would not use up the catch quota at a quicker rate than recent years.

Some amazing fishing.
