Ive been chasing them down in area 11.  Bite has been hit and miss.  My biggest so far is around 12 pounds.  Hoping to get into some big ones soon.

I hope the guys that are fishing mid-channel and releasing wild fish realize that they are pre-emptively hitting our quota of "wild contacts" before the catch and kill season is even open. This will only shorten our already limited opportunity to keep some Puget Sound Kings this year.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to get out and fish, its driving me nuts too. Just have to look at the big picture for minute.

Oh I know about the formula. Coho impacts could shut down the fishery faster than wild Kings but regardless if anyone asks the only bites I have are ones that yield fish in the cooler. Never tell the fish checkers when you have to release a fish.

Undermining the control system through mis-information is going to have a greater impact on the fishery and reduce the sustainability of the runs.

Burning that 50% at both ends...

We need to get the nets out of the rivers. That has an exponentially larger impact than sportsman

Better get out there Saturday.  Might be over by the end of the day.  With no coho season, everybody and their brother will be out there.  And if the catching was as easy as last year, might be over by noon.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Agreed, but that doesn't excuse misinforming the management of the resource.

The unfairness argument is flawed. This is a equality issue and yes the difference in these terms matters a great deal. Sportsman should be rallying around an equality narrative rather than having King 5 publish some hack piece on how "Unfair" it is to close the Skagit because well the Native Americans got to fish and we didn't. Drivel!

Fair has got nothing to do with it.

Please go listen to the Conservation Matters Podcast with Shane Mahoney.

The "Idealism Moves the World" was inspiring although he does jump around some, in my opinion the points he makes are very relevant to this issue.
