Whats the season on greeners?
I believe they are not a native species (evasive, being most probably came from CA.) ,so they are not regulated by fish and game. Can anyone say no limits and year around season?
:chuckle: :hello:

Anderson, age 59, served as WDFW's deputy director for resource policy for more than a year before being appointed interim director.
Anderson previously served as assistant director of WDFW's Intergovernmental Resource Management Program, leading the department's North of Falcon team which sets annual salmon-fishing seasons for marine waters including Puget Sound and the coast. Anderson also is WDFW's representative to the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC).
Anderson joined WDFW in 1994 after serving seven years on the PFMC as a private citizen, including duties as PFMC vice chairman and chairman. Anderson began his professional fishery career over 30 years ago as owner and operator of a charter fishing boat business. He attended Grays Harbor College.
Anderson and his wife, Chris, live in Westport and have two sons. Anderson is an avid hunter, fisher and birdwatcher, and has served as a school board member of the Ocosta School District.

Phil Anderson is a better director for WDFW than Jeff Koenings was, by several orders of magnitude.
:yeah:

Boy...that's not saying much. He was Koenings' assistant and was selected by Koenings for that position...you do know that...right? I assume you do or perhaps that was after you left.

That is pretty mis-leading.....professional fisheries career? Makes him sound like he has the credentials to qualify to manage a resource agency. I don't consider a charter boat operator as a "professional" fisheries manager....sorry. You may disagree, but the Wildlife Commission did a lousy job selecting a new Director if the only person they felt was qualified was someone without the necessary education and background. More of a you've been here under Koenings fit....which is nothing more than a management short changing of Washington's wildlife resource and sportsman opportunities.
Nothing personal, but from what I understand, he would not even qualify for an interview anywhere in the country for a Fish and Wildlife Director, based on his background. In my opinion, the Wildlife Commission is nothing more than a bureaucratic panel...they remind me of a school board. Sorry....used to believe that was the way to go....no more. They do little of any significance for any of us. :twocents:

WaCenturion - I don't disagree with any point you made. A pile of dog vomit would be a better director than Koenings. I do believe Anderson is better than Koenings. I also agree that the Commission is a joke.

I went over the reasons why predators are ruining the hunting and why it would benefit the WDFW to do something about it. He agreed with me but said he would not go there because it is not politically expedient. Not his exact words but pretty damn close.
I think he knows what the score is and ain't a bad guy but he plays the politics of Olympia. There in lies the real problem. As long as Puget Sound elects enough bunny huggers to control the state we'll get more of the same.

Too bad we couldn't organize all of us "hook and bullet" people to not purchase licenses, permits, etc. for a year. We would find out real quick what kind of club they want to be!

He is way better then Koenings who had no care for any resource other than salmon.

The state in general has used the "Dedicated funds" argument with us on many other subjects.... The reality is it is only used to divide and conqure us... I think the WDFW should ONLY do fish and game species that they have or want to do LIC for... As a hunter i am also interested in conservation, but i'm first and formost interested in the HUNTABLE species that the WDFW are caretakers of.... If Non hunters want to tax themselves more then so be it... I highly doubt that is the case... I would pay 2x as much for my lic and such if the WDFW was a closed entity and self/closed funded... I think many of the rest of us may as well... However since there is little trust(the key issue)Myself and others will prioritise our spending and will trim back... I no longer Fish in this state, and trimmed back my licence spending... Not because i couldn't afford it, but because I feel the only way to send a message is though the power of the dollar.
