Here lies the problem;" not even close" so let's wait a bit....."sky is not falling" so why act now?...Sooo, none of these observations by fishermen who have thousands of hours a year on the water for decades mean squat. Listen to the science and keep your fingers crossed?Why try to prevent it when we can attempt to cure it at a later,desperate date.Obviously you really don't care or you would have stopped regurgitating the company line a while ago. I appreciate that you have made an attempt to help the fishery to an extent, but it seems you have joined the darkside and the force is no longer with you.In the article a charter captain in the Rudee Inlet describes,with his voice cracking, how the fishery has changed to the point where he now has trouble supporting his family,he now is in favor of some conservation efforts that probably seemed foolish to him years ago.Do you think this could be you some day Mike?

Another one who reads what I didn't write. Did I not say that I think they should do something about it this year instead of waiting? If I didn't care I wouldn't be so thoroughly engaged with fishery management issues. The answer to the last question d definitely not, since I'm in favor of doing something right now!
