Chalk up another loss for UCIDA and the set net crowd on the Kenai. When are they going to get the message? The ESSN days are numbered unless things change. They should get on their knees and pray to the fish gods for a good run of Chinook. Because if the in - river fishermen are shut down because of not making minimum escapements they will be also shut down. And the Public that feels so entitled to some of the fish will go bat shit. It looks more and more that the ESSN fishery is doomed one way or another. If I were a permit holder i would be selling NOW, not later. And I would get a drift permit NOW, not later. No matter how much some of the more vocal set netters whine and point fingers at everyone else but never them selves, this fishery is regrettably, slowly but surely, going away. The Commissioner and the Kenai manager, who by himself might try to manipulate the regulations, cannot create fish. The public and the legislature will crucify anyone who tries to end run the regulations in favor of one user group over another and at the expense of the resource. let the games begin!
How much did your mentor Penney spend at the BOF to gain a one sided management plan? Million dollars? Look around the table at all the hired biositutes and spin doctors. They effectively did crucify the setnet fishery, doing what you said, sacrificing one fishery over the other to put what is left of the King run in the playground of the inriver user. You are just another one of the many jackals waiting to devour what is left of the run, already did a great job on the early run. Can you spell swine, ok just squeal.
Perhaps 4:36 at the time they were giving out Brains thought they said Trains and took one.
So CIFF has had a year to come up with a better legal argument than just there are up to 51 hours of emergency order time that can be used - the argument that failed last summer - and they brought nada, zippo, not even Harpo into the court ring?
Lame court case rightly shown to the legal trash can.
So, the leader of the effort to sue the state must pay the state's attorney's fees..that's rich!! And if I recall that person is a drifter who does not even have a boat. Wait until he loses the appeal and another $12,000 is added to the bill. First he wastes all of our time at the UCI meeting with his frivolous proposals and now he wastes the Court's time with his frivolous law suit. What a hoot!
