I would like them to revisit the “no fishing from a floating device” closure so we could hit the beach for pinks, but that won’t happen. So now I’m forced to go to the year around docks and try to catch as many wild kings as I can. Lol

I would be very much against this.

That’s too bad, I’m into some opportunities rather than none.

Doing that would be surrendering to a political agenda and would further diminish opportunities

Well, since no one is fishing at all, I guess their agenda has already been fairly effective. But I guess I don’t have any skin in the game since I don’t have a boat and am limited to catching unicorns off the pier/beach. I do appreciate the never surrender attitude, but I think they’ve already won the war and I’m just trying to get my 3 year old hooked into a pink off the beach. Lol

I’ve been fishing areas 9.10 and 13 over the last 4 days and have harvested 2 coho, 2 pinks and just list a chinook at the boat.

So since you’re slammin salmon in other areas from your boat, I don’t see the problem with letting people catch pinks from the beach in 11.

They are doing well from the beach just north of MA 11 in Lincoln Park.

So the season was closed because of encounters with sub legal chinook.  Now they re-open it for shore and dock fishing but you can't keep a legal chinook?  WDFW science at it's best. :dunno:

Chinook are chinook, when you hit the quota you're done.

The fishery was closed because of sub legal encounters. And by the way, most of these in area 11 were net pen fish they released from Pt. Defiance in June.  We never came close to hitting the quotas for legal chinook. So why can't we keep them now?   :DOH:

Because the people who represent the sport fishery aren’t representing.

 How do they determine sub legal encounters?
