Joe blow, tax paying fisherman always pays the price for over commercial harvest and miss management. If the smelt count is low enough to squash rec fishing then nobody should be making off these fish. I see commercial fishermen were allowed 60,000 pounds of smelt this year but we were allowed baisically zero. The state manages fishermen not fish, and they don't even do that right. How's that sturgeon population coming along? Fish eat fish remember? I see the commercials managed to buy themselves a decent salmon quota again this year wonder what we'll get. Can we start reducing some sea lions yet? Ok sorry rant over
