  1. What a shame there is no compromise with fishing with these emergency closures. Wouldn't F&G realize that people are that desperate to fish they're willing to get a citation? It seems ridiculous there was not more deliberation immediately once fisherman decided their livelihood was more important than their responsibility as an "upstanding" citizen...

  3. I'm taking a different view. There were just under 700 fishing vessels working out of Naknek. Sure, a few of those cited probably just made a mistake, but others were trying to get an edge over the fishermen that followed the rules. I say good on the troopers.
