Glad some fishermen are finally standing up to the NGO-funded BS.

all this anti trawl bs targeting pollock only muddys the waters and distracts from the real bad guys the amendment 80 fleet

I don’t see how on bottom trawling by any fleet would be a good thing.

Don't forget that salmon state is likely paying david bayez to run his fb page

You don't understand how trawl gear is designed or operates and don't understand how habitat protection is managed at the council, then.

Everybody else in the world says the same thing. Once they banned draggers in Puget Sound, Commercial Dungeness Crab permits skyrocketing value from $2500.00 to, good luck finding one today for sale.

There are two camps on the anti-trawler debate.

One side is the trawlers — the other side is all other humans on Earth.

Lol. Classic anti-trawl rhetoric. No facts, ignores all the science, and washes out all the communities and fisheries that are dependent on trawl. Leaving the amendment 80 sector aside, go ahead and show me one actual negative impact from the pollock fishery. Go back to your little facebook cult and leave this page for people that actually fish.

Everyone else in the world? Hahaha. The vast majority of fish globally are harvested by trawl. Stop getting your fishing info from a guy that lives in his moms basement.
