Does state unemployment count?

They changed the crab opening/closing to accomodate weekenders...which is the right thing to do.

Now you pieces of spoiled spawn.......open the damn salmon season so everyone who buys a license can use it. The "season lasts longer" argument sucks wind (no offense). Close it a couple of days mid week like mentioned previously (pick the extreme low tide days like you do halibut).

(Jason.....very good!)

I have plenty of good humor.....but this State is getting on my last nerve.

As Sg likes to say......UP THE REVOLUTION!!

What about the folks that work on weekends? The ones that work nights?
I like the fact that it opens on a specific date each year, that way I can plan ahead and if it is important enough to me I CAN take vaction to fish the opener.

If you are going to go outlaw fisherman, go all out. Buy some black corkies and hit the Skok.

Doesn't the 9/10 opener happen every year on the 15th? Makes it easy to plan out in advance for vacation or gives you time to work on that flu bug.

Slab needs diapers and tissues issued with his license.

That DEPENDS.

I agree. Easier to plan ahead. I took Monday and Tuesday off on vacation to fish and would do it again in a heartbeat. Nobody out there (at least where I was fishing) and lots of fish to catch. Only complaint if I had one was that I couldn't crab yesterday but we caught enough over the weekend to keep me from tying a noose...

To further qualify the "Sultan" status.

Smelt, Halibut, Crab all have partial week closings with at least one weekend day open each week.

Why should salmon be different?

As far as the "What about the people who work weekends?" type argument.......
Try asking...."What works for the most?" and moving in that direction?

Something you opportunists may want to consider....leaving all the good fishing for the retired, self employed, unemployed, out of school, etc fishermen will work very well for me very soon......so shall I just ignore the fact that it is unfair, because it'll work for ME?

Sounds something like Obamacare, doesn't it? I stand to reap more benefits than the younger folks, so I should just be quiet and suck it all in, right?



Kaiser....nothing to offer but a pair of childish comments? You on the teat? Government issue, of course.

Abu, where did you catch that? Is that a striper? I heard they catch stripers on the cowlitz or the columbia. Never got to fish stripers in Louisiana, only bucketmouth.

It's a Blue Finned TunaCod, which only run in the Skokomish River.

The crapper of it all is that it's only open on Thursday nights, between 8 and 9pm, which is when I watch American Idol.

I hate this state's regs.

Fish on...

Todd

When does the Skokomish river open? Can you keep them, or are they rare like wild steelhead trout?

I dunno...like I said, I'm watching American Idol during the opener.

Fish on...

Todd

Who do you think will win Idol this year?

redhook, in a landslide.

Fish on...

Todd
