The boss is fine with that. Fishermen are the lowest in society all around the world. Most people who eat BB salmon have no idea where they come from, even fewer, BB Fishermen included have a clue where they are going. Under all that water is a bunch of mud.

I suspect that they will become marginalized in the Cook Inlet now that we know that they are not needed to prevent over escapement and because they don't discriminate between fish that need to be harvested ( reds) and those that need to get into the river ( kings) . BB reds caught by set nets have always been the subject of quality concerns and until they get it right will never be the equal to a RSW fish. Perhaps it is time to start eliminating some of those operations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-11648870008871163102012-09-28T08:08:36.482-08:002012-09-28T08:08:36.482-08:00Setnet allocations need to go away in the Bay.

Get rid of the political allocations and the problem will work itself out eventually. The drift fleet has been invested heavily in RSW installation and quality incentive programs; however, the setnetters and their allocations keep us in the stone age!<br /> <br />Erik V.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-75637121666436873512012-09-27T23:39:05.978-08:002012-09-27T23:39:05.978-08:00wrong thread.wrong thread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-3247083528032593132012-09-27T16:50:55.188-08:002012-09-27T16:50:55.188-08:00My thanks to Roland Maw for having the guts to sen...My thanks to Roland Maw for having the guts to send the memo about Curry and the super 8 at the NPFMC to UFA. I am an Alaskan longliner who fishes for IFQs, cod and some crab with 60 foot+ boat. I am not a member of UFA because Bobbie T, Duncan Fields and the Petersburg-SE gang run the organization for their benefit. There are hundreds of Alaskan boatowners like myself that have endured the uncomprising <br />snobbishness of Ms Petersburg pouts alot. She inherited her position there when the current Commissioner left to go to work in Governor Palin's office. It is not just about salmon and halibut issues. Curry and her self-righteous clique routinely meddle in fisheries they know nothing about in the Gulf and Bering Sea, such as flounders, pollock and crab. They make recommendations for expensive and unnecessary reporting requirements for other other groups' fisheries that she and her Southeast gang systematically avoid. The issue is accountability and it leads to the bigger question of why the Council has not reviewed the record of decisions that Fuglvog (another PVOA Executive Director), was involved in as a Council decisionmaker. He opposed logbooks, satellite tracking devices (VMS) and observers for exempt under 60 foot Petersburg-style boats in the Gulf longline fisheries. These are standard requirements for boats like mine over 60 feet in length. Curry cleverly carries on the Petersburg legacy of selective avoidance of regulations today on the Council AP and the Commissioner has made no effort to correct the situation. Those of us dealing with issues at the Council are held hostage to Curry and her mentor on the Council, the equally self-righteous Duncan Fields (Harvester Island, Field family dynasty of 12 combined set-net sites). Fields depends on the support of Curry and her eNGOs for his seat on the Council. This enables him to push theirs and his socialistic agendas which have caught Alaskan small boat operations like mine in the bite of the line. How long is this going to go on?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-46258433541808736702012-09-27T13:44:59.651-08:002012-09-27T13:44:59.651-08:00Setnetters are the scum of society and should be f...Setnetters are the scum of society and should be fed to their own dogs<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-91275677778565385302012-09-27T11:41:52.994-08:002012-09-27T11:41:52.994-08:00Hey Anonymous Moron at 9:18pm calling me a photojo...Hey Anonymous Moron at 9:18pm calling me a photojournalist - I am a fisherman who is not cowed by the industry groupthink to collectively sweep the quality problem under the rug with a silly "What Me Worry" grin.
