Doesn't matter what you get on film. It's not politically expedient for any of the outlets to touch it.

It's not news, or journalism..... It's only a negative hit on ratings. Pathetic if you ask me.

Read through this entire thread...

The outcome is inexcusable. Where is the justice?

GDITMMM!

OK I realized I just burned post #7500 on that last GD reply.

I was saving that for something special to post tonight after my meeting at the hospital.

GDITMMRFM!

AuntyM, that would be an interesting form of exposure that might, just might, cause folks with the necessary authority to ID and then have a nice, quiet talk with the owners of that boat. Or more.

it's to bad todd wasn't armed with a wrist rocket launching 1oz. cannon balls thier direction.

While fishing pinks sat. on the puke i got nailed in the elbo with 1.5" 1/4 pencil lead. left a dandy marble sized lump, and drew some blood. i 've been hit all over my blessed body by all sorts of lead flying back at my chisled person over the years. however being nailed by a 2oz pyramid sinker to the right knee cap back in 83 really smarted! the knee is now toast.

so i believe a 1oz cannon ball would have done wonders say in ribs or ear lets say.

I did read it. How does any of it get resolved? It won't...... Unless people want to hear that it is an issue and if not, nothing will happen. LE can't push this thru the court system.

It's too bad. I can get prosecuted for having a barb that 1 of 3 game wardens "thinks" got caught in a cotton ball when the other 2 basically told Officer Abrams to let it go. Didn't happen, he didn't show, I took a day off work to go to court.

This isn't about me. It's about a system that doesn't give a [censored].

Why is a post count so important?

Yo M, that is the beginning of a good idea. Why doesn't the Shellfish Advisory committee make it an agenda item for the F&W Commission, i.e., just how it hurts the New Crab Policy Direction of the Commission disseminating Bad/Faulty/Biased/Non-Existent/Incorrect information. At the very least it would get the Issue On The Table where an examination could be started. And BrushBear with his Colorado Decades Old experiences of good info systems aiding the appropriate management of determining just what the problem is and isn't could be beneficial.

Something interesting. I just got done cooking for the football team dinner at the high school, an every Thursday night event during football season. Good times. BUT!!! One of the coaches is a buddy of mine and asked me about this Great Crab War event of 2011. Turns out, a buddy of his whom is an acquaintent of mine (typical small town stuff) just happens to be a local commercial crabber. Last winters commercial season this guy Brian was getting crab and pots stolen he thought. Well, one day another commercial crabber called Brian cuz he saw a tribal boat with Brian's pots on deck. Brian being a red head and all went after em in his boat. Caught em and alerted the authorities and they found the boat, a Tulalip tribal commercial boat with Brian's pots. They were forced to pay damages of those stolen pots and estimated crab in them.

The fact that Mr. Childers has not called a Shellfish Advisory Group meeting in almost a year IMO speaks loudly as to his interest in having feedback from the recreational community.

Reading and doing are two different things, lets hope the message is crystal clear!

But alas, he is a Hard Head cause he still has NOT corrected his math impaired Scofflaw Spreadsheet he presented at the State PSA Meeting last Feb. And when I confronted him at his dog & pony show at the June NOP PSA General membership meeting about it, I did extract a promise by him to in fact correct it, butt so far GOOBERMINT BureauCrap NADA. Hey Director Andersen, do any of your Program Managers speak without Forked Tongue????

AuntyM, my suspicion is that he probably avoids the pain unless there is a specific issue for which he is trying to monitor the recreational "pulse."

Wow, I just spoke with Asst. Chief Mike Cenzi. Very nice guy on the phone, and yes, this was at 9:38 pm at night. He's going to have another officer contact me, but he says at the minimum they will rattle some cages. We'll see what happens but at least it has got their attention, and I do have to say, everyone I've talked to has seemed very interested and motivated to do something about these types of acts. And once again I was told the best thing to do is call 911 in cases like this. I didn't want to abuse the 911 line, but now realize it should be used for stuff like this.

Why is it we have to make public employees do their job? This might be comedic except that it seems so pervasive, Jesus just do your job already!

NO KIDDING!

Richard called me an it is continuing to heat up, stay tuned

I've learned that eyefish seems to make a special notice of miniscule accomplisments such as post totals. why? i have no idea.

Sol is about to be baried from the "top poster" box though.

This is going to get a lot more interesting in the next few days...
