Isn't McCombs a former educator from the Kenai penninsula who is constantly critisising the BOF and the ADF&G? Looks like not only is he a person who cares little about conservation, but cares even less about following the law.
ReplyDeleteJust the opposite I'd say . John been fishing the Inlet for over 30 years and getting 1 ticket in the tricky waters of C.I. drift net fishing with GPS lines and the worlds biggest tides speaks for itself . If he didn't keep people informed about commercial fishing it would be way to one sided . I think he writes about the Inlet cause he does care . Thanks for the good work John
ReplyDeleteOh right. since he advocates for the 'commercial fishing' interests and the waters are now so 'tricky' he gets a pass. He broke the law and no doubt cares about what will now happen to him. but don't paint him something he is not; a law abiding fisherman.
