That's a 20 percent drop from last season's quota of 9.1 million pounds.

Everyone's favorite unobserved Trawl fishery in one of Alaska 's most economically important recreational and commercially important areas
How many of the thousands of rec and commercial boats have observers?
Second worst thing to happen to PWS after the Exxon Valdez.
What a hilarious comment. Tell me how the impacts from this fishery are greater than any other.
Interesting that several Cordova gillnetters testified in support of this fishery. Apparently they believe catching some of the pollock will decrease predation on salmon.
The pollock fishery in PWS has no observers or cameras.
You didn't answer my question.
The $800k in ex-vessel value made off this fishery which seems to piss off a bunch of local Alaskans isn’t worth the political capital they lose operating a trawl fishery in PWS. These guys can’t seem to read the room can they?
The vessels that fish in PWS are Alaskan. The entire pollock fishery in PWS catches less kings than the average single charter vessel (harvested by non-Alaskans). Is there something unique about the impact from the 800 trawl caught kings versus the 40k charter caught kings (who also have no observers and voluntary reporting)?
Seems like the entire PWS fishing fleet came out in support of the pollock fishermen at the last BOF meeting and the communities that initially supported the $almon$tate proposal dropped their support. The only two that spoke in favor were rich, born-out-of-state kids from salmonstate that want to turn Alaska into a wildlife refuge and have never been on the deck of a boat (grumpy and gremlin; can't remember their real names). I know that's not Tim writing the comment because the grammar is too good. Is that you grumpy?
The boats are Alaskan? No their not, every one was built in the United States, and not one of them are Alaskan. How much is the pollock in Alaska, shipped North from Seattle?
WTF are you even talking about? The boats that fish that pollock are homeported in Kodiak and the skippers are Kodiak residents. If you have to lie to prove your point, it's not a very good point.
So how much pollock does Kodiak Eat, and don't lie to us about those numbers either.
How much halibut and salmon from charters stays in Alaska? How much of the salmon from the commercial fisheries stays in Alaska. Don't lie.
Your point is dumb.
Your point is dummer, Charter boats took less than 1200 chinook in 2024 and 1000 in 2025......For way more economic gain than a bunch of unobserved trawlers catching Pollock for a few weeks . They have resident captains, crews and clients that all act as observers as well as the highest interaction with enforcement of all the fleets.
there are plenty of eyes watching what charter boats do.
Don't blame charters for the unobserved Trawl fleet pillaging of PWS. Alaskan's will be glad when you get regulated out of State waters, for good reason.
See, you're just lying and making things up. Charter and sport boats took 6,318 Chinook in PWS and over 40k in the GOA. None of those boats are observed. But I like your plenty of eyes commen -- that seems like a really good enforcement mechanism. https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/sf/sportfishingsurvey/index.cfm?ADFG=area.results.
Back up any of your claims with facts that aren't from facebook.
The charter log book data supports my claim 1200 and 1000 respectively
you are adding the total sport harvest while blaming the charter fleet, get your facts straight..... Oh wait you can't because your so used lying...
Show me the data hun
