Folks are fired up because they're sick of this chit (pot and crab stealing). I know that you guys are one the few that were "lucky" enough to catch the flat nosed fisheaters in the act, we are rooting for a good outcome......for once.

Possible Double Standard Scofflaw Sniffed Out of The Reel News!!!!

Just got my September copy of the Reel News and an "Item" on page 16 (Officers NoteBook) got my attention as a rather Obvious Double Standard Scofflaw Counting of Violations that WDFW LE employs. "Undocumented Commercial Catch" item talks about One Illegal using another Illegal Commercial Buyers License (that's 2), annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd where are the Receiving Tickets (That's anywhere from 2 to Gawd Knows How Many!!!!), and then there are at least 2 Tribal Crabbers in trouble (another 2), and finally 1,200 pounds of crab (+1,200).

Now the question is; Just What is the Childers/BigMouthOlson/Cenci's Scofflaw Count and Violation Rate??? One as reported in the article or as employed on Sports Crabbers -- anywhere from a minimum of 6 to 1,205+. I wonder what Officer BigMouth Olson would use as a Violation Rate since there was only 4 People involved. For the Math Impaired WDFW, 4 into 6 on the low side (150%) or 4 into 1,205 (301.25%).

I'm back in town, Rico has already met with a few folks, I've been doing it via phone from afar, and I'll be meeting some this week, too...it hasn't been dropped, far from it...it's just not being handled on a public InterWebz chat board, for what I'd think should be obvious reasons.

Fish on...

October Bump for those in Pungentopolis with short attention spans Any Updates Todd???? Or did the Tribal Casino's offer up yet another BIG BRIBE to make it go away????

Watch out! They are going to say it's part of their customs. Didn't everyone know that back in the day they had their crab pot stealing ceremony? It's a pretty interesting deal. It requires drinking 2 40 ouncers a safety meeting and oh wait, they didn't have crab pots back in the day. Its things like this that makes sympathizing with them impossible. They hate being stereotyped but actions speak louder than words. Don't want to be stereotyped don't be stereotypical!

The process is underway. The boats are known, the people known, the wdfw officer in charge has done a great job, done all he could, and as stated before, the process is underway and probably will take some time. But WDFW enforcement has done as hood as possibly can with the available information they have.

Bet your ass,I'd of had scalps.

Update (????) Bump Time.

They're American just as you are. Nationality has nothing to do with this.

Depends on who you talk to. . . .. or what "nations" rules you choose to follow. . . . ..

Case still open. WDFW officers did their part quite well. Prosecutor not too motivated about it mostly cuz I cannot positively 100% identify the crab bandits faces even though they admit to being on the caught boats. Tell ya more about it a little later. I'd be lying if I said "yes that is the bastards for 100% sure." But the dudes admit to being there in the boats, by my pots....

Just maybe a phone call to the Island County Sheriff enlisting his DA Motivational Skills.

There are no DA's in WA. They are County & City Prosecutors

Just a Mid November I'm Bored Bump, anything new or did the PROSECUTOR spend that Casino Bribe, er I mean Campaign Contribution????

John, thanks for keeping this on your radar.
