Possibility of ocean salmon fishing being closed this year.

Look up commercial trawling. Ships that are huge, dragging giant sock nets killing everything in their paths so McDonald's can sell fish sandwiches and fish sticks. They catch crazy amounts of salmon and dump them overboard. These guys make all other fisheries look like saints.

Funny in Alaska, natives don't have any special fishing or hunting rights. The only thing they get extra is sea mammal rights.

From what I understand, the tribes are pushing no ocean fishing and including themselves.  I certainly won't include Alaska and therefore Canada.  I'll get the scoop on what the tribes are up to.

More fish for them in the rivers....

F the tribes I am so sick of this BS. It's suppose to be a 50 50 split which is already ridiculous. But the entitled greedy tribes want more. Look at lake Washington sockeye. Sport fisherman haven't had a season in a decade yet the tribes net the crap out of them every year. Nets in front of the fish ladder.  It pisses me off the most is that they don't even net the fish right after the fish ladder so at least we could have an accurate split and count of the fish. It's deliberate. Then they get our media to blame anything under the sun except the Indians. It's walleye its global warming it's people in Alaska catching the sockeye give me a break.


Oh yeah a barbless hook fishery where only certain fish may be retained causes more damages/impacts than indiscriminately killing everything that swims towards its spawning grounds. It's a joke.

The tribes don't get this kind of power in any other state only Washington.

Im goingbto write wdfw and explain to them that i identify as a native, and any discrimination or persecution i face from them will result in lawsuits costing them money and exposing them as a racist organization.

Great idea I know some rich guys that fish out of Westport who might be able to help if they take away ocean fishing.

You might want to study up on your tribal treaties and the history behind them.

Look at South Carolina they tell the tribes to piss off.

If the coho runs are as bad as predicted, I don't see it being worth the time for tribal or nontribal commercials to target them. Predictions are for a small fraction of normal.

I don't understand why they need more money when their casinos are raking in millions of untaxed money. When does it all end? Half the "Indians" are white guys with like 1/8th native. Pretty sure I have that in me I just can't prove it.

It sounds like we will be able to go after Chinook so far. The council is meeting in Canada this week.
