  4. Funny, there is no money for trooper enforcement and the seiners are ok with that.....No wonder they wanted Willie T gone. Amalga should be Gillnet only just like HF is solely for seiners. Carefull Angoon, these seiners have no intention of curtailing any fishing in Chattham for your subsistence needs, I hope the ETJ works and bites the seiners hard!

  5. Uhhhhh and nakat and boat harbor isnt solely for chokers??? And have you checked the enhanced fish ratios, slighty skewed towards the choker fleet last i knew.

  6. Have no fear @7:14PM, next task is to revisit the enhanced allocation mix and fix the mess! Chokers Rule!

  7. Jeremy Jensen, a chip off the old block. His father, John Jensen who has been on the fish board for a long time has had his share of convictions for fishing violations, yet somehow retains his seat on the Board. Maybe it's time for the old man to step down and give Jeremy his opportunity on the board. He seems well qualified.

  8. Interesting that there are substantially more gillnet violations than seine, the brig speaks for itself on what kind of fleet the chokers are.
